This massive Bowie is made of 5160 carbon steel and is slightly more than a 1/4 thick with a blade 8.7 inches long, 2 inches wide and an overall length of 14.7 inches. I differentially heat treat achieving an edge hardness of about Rc 58/60 and draw the point back to about Rc55 for higher toughness. The spine is left at a lower hardness for maximum strength.
The scales are Cocobolo bolted with stainless steel screws and round brass nuts, Loveless style, to the knives full tang. I feel bolts provide greater strength and durability than pins. The tang extends out beyond the scales to form a glass breaker pommel.
The sheath is made of heavy 8/9 ounce leather and setup to be carried either horizontally or vertically right or left.
SOLD Price is $225 plus $8 shipping in US
I prefer PayPal (my account is kelley_ward2@agilent.com) but take other forms of payment.
Thanks,
