Bowie pics and introduction

[DEllis]

My name is Darcy Ellis. I live in central BC Canada and I have been a hobby bladesmith/hack for well over a decade. I figgured I'd show off one of the very few(as in 2) knives I have completed since 2008. Been too busy with other projects but finally got back to it.
I've been lurking here for a long time I just never post.
Anyway, here're the specs.
-Forged 5160 with an antique etch and hammer marks left on spine.
-Blade length 10 5/16"
-Elk antler grip with blued wrought iron guard and cap and copper ferrule and washer. pommel nut is antiqued O-1
-Sheath is lined leather with stud button type retension strap. Modified dangler carry.
Comments and criticism welcome...........sorry for the poor photo's.......I am no Coop

I'd buy it . Great looking work there. Maybe you should post it over in the customs section, probably get more folks looking at it.

Thanks guys. Maybe I will post it over on the customs forum........I may try to get a better pic first though.
