Hello guys,

I finished another bowie. I forged blade of W5. Hardening of the hamon. Satin finish to 800grit.

The handle I used lignum vitae. I got it from a friend. His grandfather had it hidden for about 60 years. Beautifully hardwood.

5 "handle and 9" blade :-)

Thanks for looking!

Milan,

Clean and mean machine !
Lovely lines from tip to butt and the lig vit really looks very nice on the sculpted handle.
Looks like very well done fit and finish.

I really like it. Clean Bowie that just looks right from butt to tip.
 
Wow. I just usually drool silently here, but I really feel the need to say that this knife is perfect to me. I love the handle, in both shape and gorgeous wood, and the perfectly formed in every way blade. This knife really speaks to me. Absolute perfection!
 
It s vert Nice but the handle is to small ( for me)
think about it , congrats
