Brute Bowie in Bastogne Walnut

S. Clark · Sep 3, 2016

Here's a custom made bowie I recently did, my biggest knife to date.

Blade was 10" long or ~10.5" with the ricasso included of W2 steel with a traditional white hamon

handle is sculpted, two-tone bastogne walnut with some serious curl.

Photos courtesy of my brother. Comments and criticism welcome! Let me know if you want to discuss a potential custom order.

Great work Spencer. Careful though, discussing sales at your membership level is no bueno. Mom did a nice job with the pictures.

Wow, beautiful work on both knives! I tend to almost always prefer a Frosty hamon over a dark (sometimes Dirty looking) hamon, so great job there

. I love the aggressive recurve it has and the forged flats are something I've always been fond of.

I really do like the profile of that hunter though, just a bit of belly with the raised "harpoon" clip give it a spear point profile, and then the way the spine flows back up to the handle subdue it's... "fierceness", for lack of a better word lol.

Thanks for sharing.

Love the combo of the forge finish with hamon.
