Someone is going to be VERY pleased.
Bailey Bradshaw, MS: A Trailing Point Bowie with a super hamon.
10" blade, 15" overall, with blued Damascus fittings, Bubinga wood handle.
SOLD
Payment by US Postal Money Order.
Here is Bailey's full description of the knife:
10" of forged 1075, clay heat treated with nice and wavy hamon and utsuri. The fittings are heat colored damascus, guard, ferrule and pomel. The finial is heat colored mild steel. It is a take down piece.
The blade has distal taper to the tip, and feels really quick for it's length and width. The balance point is at the ricasso.
The handle is pommele grain bubinga (African rosewood). I shaped the handle in an octogon, and laquered the wood for a final finish. The laquer gives a lot of depth to the wood and shows off the pommele grain really well.
This is the first trailing point bowie I can recall making. A bit of a departure from clip points, but I like the flow of the knife. Won't be the last with this overall shape for sure.
