Bowie and fighter design.

[Ian Fifelski]

After seeing the flaws of my first bowie I have been working hard on my handle shape and guard/ricasso design.

What do you think of these designs? (Sorry again for having to use web page.) The fighter has a 10 inch blade and the recurve bowie is 11 inches. https://www.barefootblades.com/Bladeforums-example.html

Thanks
Ian

Solid. Build 'em.

 

[Ian Fifelski]

Awesome, thanks. I think finally (after countless drawings ) got the shape down.

They look good. The thing about going big is that it adds time and complexity to the project. Go slow.

Drawings look great! Make'em

Go for it! Nice designs, just one suggestion, the harpoon Swedge imo is getting a bit over done these days.... Do a Clip or Other kind of a swedge on one of them to do something different so you’ll learn something different on one of them...
