Hello my friends. I have been away from the forums for some years, I appologize for that.
From now on, I'll start to post all knives I make, and we`ll start with this:
Buonarroti Bowie-
This bowie has a 8"1/2 blade and 13"3/4 overal lenght, forged in turkish damascus composed of 125Cr1-15N20 steels, with integral construction and gold inlaid stamp. The guard and collar are fileworked, with some gold inlay as well, and the handle is faceted ebony. The pommel is turkish patterned damascus, with file work and gold inlay. Tha sheath is water buffalo leather with rayskin, and damascus detail on the strings.
This is the best bowie blade I have made so far, regarding proportions. To my eyes, the lenght, wideness, curves, and english false edge, are all in perfect proportions, that's hard to get. I like all the blades I have made, some more than others, but this degree of satisfaction only comes a few times... You makers understand what I'm speaking about...
I also would like to say that I'm taking comissions now. I have been working only with my ideas since 2009, but now it's time to receive suggestions again.
Thank you for looking!
