A Bowie knife

[Nektarios]

Hi all

This is my first attempt to make a Bowie knife and I thing it went very well...

5 mm 01Steel, Blade length 220mm, and 37mm at the widest point.
Tel me what you think.

Thanks for looking!



I have started to give shape to the handle; i decide to put a box elder burl and a stainless pin.






I have give shape to the handle and fit all the parts,
now i have to clean and polish the blade and pout everything back together and at last have to make a sheath for it.

I'd love to see your knife but none of your pictures are showing up. Maybe retry?

NP,

You forged and ground that blade?

I just looked at your website, so obviously you did. I was shocked by the possibility it could be your first knife.

FWIW, I think that is a terrific first Bowie.
