Bowie/clip point WIP

[Southclaw]

Well I said I was going to post some pictures when I go my membership upgraded, so here goes.
This is a custome order I am working on for a guy. It is a bowie/clip point, made out of a leaf spring from a 1968 Ford Bronco. I know, I know “unknown steel”, but I have made several blades out of it and they have done pretty good when I tested them. I also got some W2 well I was at the Badger Knife Show, so I will be working with “known steel” soon.
This knife would not be anywhere near this good if it were not for All of my tutors (everyone on bladeforums.com) who I would like to thank for all there help. You all have helped me very much, even if you don’t know it. I do take a lot of time making knife so this WIP may take a little time.

Cool, man. Keep 'em coming. Oh, and congrats on the upgrade.

Here it is after forging and a bit of sanding.


I brought all of the red deer antlers I had over to the customer so he could pick out the piece that felt good in his hand. He is 6’7” so what felt good in my hand would probably be a little small for him.


Blade, guard, handle, and butt cap all pre-fitted.

Thank you Salem.
