Hi guys:
Here's a knife I just finished yesterday morning for a member/customer here. This one took some time!
I don't normally make knives this big, OR make this type of sheath, but this is what the customer asked for. Not sure I'll ever try making another one of these?
I'm sorry my photos. aren't fancier. The customer is into Cowboy action shooting (I think) or something along those lines. He wanted a Bowie to add to his gun belt rig that looked the correct era. He said it as OK to share the photos, so here ya' go.
It's got a 1095 blade with a mild steel guard, and Curly Maple handle scales. The overall length is just South of 12" About 11-7/8? The blade has a false edge along the clip point. The blsde is 7-3/4" long, 1-3/4" wide and 3/16" thick. The sheath is made of 5 layers of 6-7 oz. vegetable tanned tooling hide, and dyed Dark Brown. The entire rig weighes 14.6 ozs.
I'm hoping to get it boxed and shipped very soon? He saw the photos. and he's happy, that's my primary concern. See what y'all think? Thanks.
God bless:
