Copper Bowie

This is a beautiful piece. I really liked the handle shape and copper guard... Good work on that...
 
I'm liking a touch of copper more and more, the more I see it. I love the sleek lines of the blade, too. Very nice!

Where does one get copper barstock? Is there a certain type that's best for guards/spacers etc?
 
I have purchased Copper as well as Brass Barstock from MSC Industrial Supply, the link is below.

Forgot to include info on the Bowie:

1095 HC
10" Blade
15" OAL
Copper Guard & Butt Plate
Spalted Maple Handle
Through Tang Design

with input from Karl Anderson & J. Neilson......

Really helpful fellows!

What I like about Photobucket is you can so easily put the image on the thread.

Wow Bruce,

That is a large image....I'll have to utilize photobucket's copy paste option more often.

Thanks,
