This one has been on my computer desk for the past year or so after I ground it. I
finally took the time to assemble it.
Made from 3/16" edge quenched 5160, blade is 7 5/8" tip to gaurd, 12 3/8"OAL. Brass
guard and butcap, SS endnut. Tang goes all the way thru handle and is threaded on
the end.
Elk Crown Handle.
The engraving was done by an Art teacher at Northern AZ Univ. Lost her name but
the work she did is truly nice. I admired this work for a long time before deciding to
actually assemble the blade. Hope you guys enjoy looking at it!
There are some closeups and better pics at the link.

Hi Robert,
That is a very interesting Bowie. The engraving adds a nice touch to the overall appearance without overpowering it.

You did an excellent job on the whole knife but that grind is fantastic. :D
 
"Interesting"? That is one AWESOME bowie! Robert, everytime you post a new knife, it's better than the last. Your stuff is fantastic! Keep up the good work.
