Hallo.
Every boy from my generation here in Poland grew up on books and movies about Wild West. No wonder then, that when boys become big guys, they want to make their child-dreams come true. Once upon a time my good friend asked me to create an extraoridinary bowie knife. The blade was appointed to Bialorussian mastersmith Alexandr Bialy, known of his excellent complex damast blades, while the handle and the sheath was comissioned to me. After good few monts I receved the, indeed master quality, blade and I worked hard to create a self-consistent, both: practical and beautiful knife. How the collaboration worked out - see for your self. Enjoy!
length - 409 mm [16.102"]
blade - 254 mm [10.000"]
thickness near guard - 5.5 mm [0.216"]
guard - 416 SS
handle - Desert Ironwood
sheath - leather
