Here is one I just finished up. It is the first of a pair. I will be finishing the little brother tomorrow. The knife is forged from 1080 steel. I etched the blade to show the quench line. It is hard to see but there are what looks like floating islands down the length of the blade. I thought is was a cool effect. the blade is 9 3/4" long . The overall lengh of the knife is 16". The balance point is righ at the back of the guard. The guard and fittings are damascus steel. The stag crown was supplied by the customer.

If you look just up from the edge you can see the floating islands.
 
wow. :eek: I just got some 1080 today and I'm ready to start playing with it.

Does that one have a home, and do you have layaway? :D ;)
 
"Does that one have a home?"


Yep, she's headed my way! :) Along with the little Brother.

Another great look bowie Craig :eek: Keep it up.

Danbo, you don't like bowies do you?

Don Hanson lll

Don, anything less would be uncivilized! :)
 
That's a beauty Craig - and one of a pair no less. Your customer is going to be one happy camper! Make sure you show us the little brother when it's done. I love matched sets.

I hope it is OK with you and your customer,
i just saved the pics to my "WOW THIS KNIVE I WANT" list.

Bladeshape, steel, OAL, materials, everything seems to come from my personal dreamlist.

:eek:
 
I glad you liked this one, thanks for the comments.

Burch unfortunatley it has a home already and it will be going through Dans hands first. The actual owner may have to wrestle Dan for them but thats between them :D ;)

The little brother is posted in the gallery.
