Big Harpoon Bowie with Claro Walnut

[scottishsmith24]

So this past week has been very frustrating and full of set backs. I have been working with W2 recently and this week I lost five blades to the quench which hasn't happened to me in years. One of the blades was a large harpoon point bowie, so I got back on the horse and made another one in the same profile. This is my first knife of any kind to have a pattern welded guard and man was that a learning experience, but over all I am pleased with the lines and feel of the knife.I sent the knife off to Scott Roush to photograph and he did a great job. Let me know what you all think. I ended up trying a smaller fold formed copper inlay than I normally use and liked the more subtle touch it added to the sheath. Thanks for looking!

Thank you for the kind comments everyone, at first this knife was a headache (because the first one cracked) but the second one became a joy of a project.
