Another Big Bowie

[Greg Covington]

This one was made from salvaged sawmill blade and it is L6 steel. It has been forged and is 1/4" thick with a distal taper. The blade is 9".

I did it Sheffield style. I was saving a nice piece of Sambar for a piece like this.

I can't remember what kind of snakeskin is in the sheath. I had it in my sheath making supplies for the last 10 years.

Sorry for the crappy pic....I think my digital camera is about to give up the ghost!

Fantastic Bowie!

Very clean and very elegant...yet with a "now this is a knife" attitude as well!

Thanks for sharing.

That is one very nice looking Bowie. It has a real balance to it's appearance that many miss.

Whatever kind of snake it was, it sure wasn't a midget. Good sized pattern of scales. Very nice sheath.

Sorry, running a bit behind on looking at some stuff in this forum.
