D-Guard Bowie

[sharpeknives]

This is my first D-Guard Bowie , made for a customer. It is a copy of an original Civil War Bowie. He is a re-enactor and wanted a knife that looked as if it were made by a local Blacksmith for a confederate soldier.
Blade is 12" X 1.5 x 1/4. of 1095.
Guard and fittings are 303 Brass
Handle Sambar Stag (customer request original was wood)
Let me know what you think.

Thanks guy's. This was my first, getting everything to fit right was a bear. As Forest would say " D-Guards are tough!"
