Cowboy Bowie with Madagascar Rosewood

Looks good to me. I would think that a Cowboy Bowie would be an apt description from my little knowledge. I too like the Damascus guard and spacer, the checkered screw is a great finish! Looking forward to seeing the sheath.
 
Very nice John! All class... super fine execution as we all expect from you. :thumbup: :cool:

So is that checkering on the nut? At first glance I thought it was knurled, but for the life of me I can't figure out how you'd knurl a flat part short of some kind of specialty die.

You continue to impress John! :)
 
Thanks again guys.

Nick, thanks for posting. I really appreciate the kind words about my knives. It's inspiring.

Yeah, the nut is just checkered. I think it looks pretty cool. I don't know that the checkering really fits the knife, but then again, I'm not sure what would fit it better? :)

I wanted to do something different than just grind it flush and there's only so much you can do with the flat end of a small screw. Going to try a smaller checkering file next time I think.
 
Thanks for clearing that up John, now I'll quit pondering it! ;) :)

I think the checkered screw looks really cool too. :cool:

A damascus nut or screw would look great with this style knife as well, IMHO.
