Phillip,

Is this the first with no serial number, or did you hide it?

Thanks,

Thank you Phillip,

Well, this is my first ABS Bowie, so that seems fitting.

I noticed that one was with W1 and another with W2. Which is this? Also, what grit did you finish it with? It seems smoother than most. I don't see a hammon. Is it differentially tempered?

Forgive all the questions. I am just a proud new owner asking about his prize.

Thanks,

Raymond

Hi,
Well, thank you for picking mine! :) I haven't sent this one out yet, so it's kind of surprising that it sold already. LOL
I have to stitch and finish the sheath, so it should be going out tomorrow.

This blade is made from W1. I was going to use 1084, but since one blade I made from it had a problem, I decided to go with a tool steel, which, being a higher grade, should be cleaner than carbon steels. The W1 I have has .84 % carbon, so the performance should be the same.

I gave it a 600 grit finish, no hamon or differential heat treat.

Nothing to forgive; I enjoy answering questions. :)

Thanks,
Phillip
 
Thank you Phillip. The knife is even better in person. The balance is excellent for such a large blade. I am very satisfied.
 
another fantastic looking knife!
