This is a Tejas model bowie in forged 1075. The guard and finial are heat colored mild steel with variations int he color ranging from bronze gold to violet to dark and light blue. The handle is pomele grain bubinga with teak oil finish.
The knife is light and quick for a 10" bowie.
Also, after receiving some finishing tips from Warren Osborne last week, this bowie has as good a finish as I have ever done. It is hand rubbed to 800 grit, and the lines are more crisp than I have achieved thus far. After 11 years of knifemaking, I am amazed such little changes in technique make such a difference.
It comes with a sheath and shipped conUS for $975.
