A bowie

[Phillip Patton]

Hey all,
Here's a bowie I finished last week. The blade is 8-3/8" of O1 and L6 twist damascus. The handle is african blackwood. The guard and spacers are stainless and G10.

That's a beauty Phillip. Very crisp, clean work.

 

[Fishinbo]

Outstanding job on the inlay as well as the execution. Great looking blade!

 

[David Stifle]

That's a classic, Phillip. Beautiful work!

That's a beauty Phillip. Very crisp, clean work.

My thoughts as well. I love the damascus pattern and the flow of the wood on that left side is extraordinary.

 

[Mack]

That, sir, is gorgeous.

 

[Karl B. Andersen]

Nicely done, Phillip.
And I really like the absence of the finger notch. A huge improvement from my perspective.
I hope we see more of that.

 

[BallewBlade]

Wow that is beautiful, so well done!

 

[R APPLEBY]

Beauty, Love the Damascus

That african blackwood really looks nice!

 

[Phillip Patton]

Thanks fellas!

Karl, this is pretty much how I do my handles now. There are still a few designs of mine that don't look right without the finger groove, but generally I leave it off now unless requested.

That is one beautiful Bowie.
