Bowie - In Process!

[JK Knives]

Material came today, so I started on my 8" Bowie.

 

[JCavSD]

Wow, very nice start. I have bowie envy.

 

[JK Knives]

Heat treating today, handle material ordered yesterday, should see this by Friday, if all goes well.

 

[Rockywolf]

That's going to be a beauty!

That is nice indeed. Will this have a differential heat treat?

On my larger knives, the spine is a bit softer than the edge.

Made the sheath this morning.

 

[JK Knives]

Heat treated and ground blade. Now I need to be patient and wait for my ivory micarta to get here.
