A Big Heavy Bowie

Gib Guignard · Dec 10, 2002

A customer wanted a large bowie this is what I made
for him. 12 1/2" blade forged 5160, hand rubbed finish
5/16" thick to the end of the blade catcher then tapers
to the end.Convex grind, brass guard and pommel, iron
wood handle. blade catcher has been stippled. Gib

Hey Gib, That looks like a great Christmas tree decoration. What are you doing to stiple the blade? Can you get a close up of the stiple, can't really tell what it looks like in the picture.......Ray

Gib, I see it. Thought my vision was really getting bad yesterday. You ever wonder if they'll let us set up a forge when were in the old folks home......Ray
