Bowie w/ bronze & inlay handle

[J. Doyle]

I just got this pic of my latest bowie.

The blade is forged from w2 steel and has a neat "no- clay" or auto- hamon. The blade is 8 1/4" long and overall length is 13 1/8". The guard is sculpted from bronze and has rounded edges. The spacer is also bronze and features a stippled center band. The handle is African blackwood with two separate solid stabilized curly maple inlays. The butt end of the knife features my signature carved flute and there is a decorative finial bolt cap made of bronze with stippled center to match the fittings.

Thank you for the outstanding pic Jim!

Wow, you have got to be kidding. You almost lulled us to sleep with the simple hunter, then BAM!
Spectacular!

Great eye for color on the hardware and guard! The maple inlays really pop with the bronze!
