D-Guard Bowie

[Gary Mulkey]

This one has a blade of 1084 & 15N20 with an ironwood handle & 416 furniture. I wanted to give this one a bit of a 19th century feel so I modified the d-guard a bit from the norm. The Damascus is a bit of an experiment as well. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Gary

Very cool bowie!

I agree, very cool. Its nice to see something different and that looks great, I like the eschutcheon also, makes for a nice touch that adds more class. The guard , spacers and eschutcheon would make for a great engraving canidate , The damascus pattern turned out nice too Gary, I'd say you knocked it out of the park. :thumbup:

Thanks, guys. This was the first time that I've done a forged guard using 416. I'm glad that you liked it.
