Longhorn.

Clip point full flat-ground bowie style blade, with vine filework down the spine. As are a few other knives I’m selling right now, the blade is heavy coil spring from a GT Mustang, I think it’s 5160 (and it heat treats like 5160) but I’m not gonna lie, just making an educated guess on this one… clay quenched and tempered with a nice visible temperline. Stainless steel fittings with filed borders, elliptical guard, round screw-on butt cap and spacer, all with mirror finish. Handle is axis deer antler harvested and given to me on the island of Maui by an old pal. This bowie is deceptively light in the hand, weighing in at just 13 ¾ oz. overall, with a balance point 1” up the blade before the guard. Overall length is 17”, blade length is 11 1/2”. Hand rubbed to 600 grit.

Asking price is $400 U.S.

Price Dropped to $380.

Price dropped further to $350.

SOLD

Price includes shipping to the 50 U.S. states, and a premium veg-tanned horse leather sheath, you specify RH or LH carry. This would be a fairly basic but well-made sheath, no fancy stuff offered right now as I am not tooled up for that kind of work. If you would like to order the knife without a sheath, simply take $20 off the price.

Bear with me on the pictures, I had a heck of a time photographing this one in my little light box… trying to get the temper line was especially difficult.

I make knives to the best of my ability and knowledge. I research to find the best materials and methods to use, in order to provide the very best product, in terms of value, durability, performance, and aesthetics. Should you find a knife you have bought from me to be lacking in any of these respects, you may ship it back to me at my expense for a full money-back return.

Should a knife purchased from me fail in materials or workmanship, please ship it back to me at my own expense for your money back in full, or repairs at no cost. Your choice.

I will sharpen any of my knives at no cost, however I do ask that you pay for shipping costs for this service.

Also, if this knife or any other I have made that you have seen looks close to something you would like, or if you would like to talk about an entirely different knife design alltogether, please contact me, I do custom orders as well and always enjoy talking about knife designs, whether or not we actually end up doing business.
