Come on Robert, you said a few pics, I only see 1 pic. Are you trying to tease us? I got to admit, I like what I see but don't let me go 'off-line' without a bigger view, please!

Great looking Bowie Robert.I really like the handle,very nice burl.

 

[Clydetz]

Sorry about that. I guess I was just a little to quick with my posting finger.
But, I still think she is a beauty! That burl is outstanding and the entire knife is very 'smooth'! What is this Bowie called? I know you have a ton of names to pick from!

 

[RobertHankins]

Hey no problem I just couldn't figure out why it wouldn't load.

Your right after this contest I and many other makers will have a long time supply of knife names!

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Very nice. By the way, were you thinking of trying your hand at forging?

 

[RobertHankins]

Keith,
Actually I have all of my forge components sitting in the back yard. Just need to take the time to
assemble them and get going.
