01 and Walnut Bowie. New Sheath Pics Added!

[i4Marc]

Hey folks, notice anything different about me? I got a big boy membership! I'm legit now. To celebrate I'm sharing with you my latest knife. Let me know what you think.

Blade Steel: 01 from my friend and yours Aldo, finished to 1200X
Blade Length: 9.75" to the guard, 9" edge
Guard: Antique wrought iron with black G10 and Stainless spacers, As time passes and the iron darkens the spacers will start to pop.
Handle: Stabilized, figured Claro Walnut from Mark at Burl Source with 316SS pin.
OAL: 15.25"

Finally made a sheath for it!

Very nice Marc! I really like the blade shape on this one, you posted this in shoptalk earlier yeah?

I saw a post by you in a different thread and noticed your account was orange. Eventually I'll have to do the same, but I always spend my membership money on handle material or tools

Clint,

Yeah, I post over there too because not everybody there gets over here. I know budgets are tight. Why do you think it took me so long?

 

[Steve Nuckels]

A beauty!

I like the deep belly and the walnut is sweet!

I like the Smithe & Weasel too!

That looks great Marc, and clean as a whistle. The orange looks good on you!

 

[abbydaddy]

*wolf-whistle* That's a pretty one you made there.

 

[BladeScout]

Thats a beaut.

Congrats on your latest knife and the big boy membership.

One small nitpick; personally I like a bit more room in front of the guard to wrap my finger around (its a hog sticking thing), but I know, that Im in the minority and it doesnt take an iota away from the beauty of the knife.

Outstanding work. Looks mighty nice.
Just a note; those rounds look kinda small for that knife

Great looking combo, will look awesome once the Iron starts to darken.
