Farrier's Rasp Bowie ((Sold))

[G L Drew]

I always hesitate to work with an unknown steel as in a file or rasp but these bowies are so much fun to make. I heat treated this using the same recipe that I use for 1095 and after a 2X4 chop and some arm hair shaving, I feel comfortable with the results.

Stock removal from a farriers rasp. (A little forging to make some bends and work on the tang.)
Flat grind with a Scotch Bright finish
Stabilized ash burl handle
The guard was forged and acid etched from wrought iron
Overall length:15 1/4 inches
Blade: 10 inches
Leather sheath

Sorry for the chatter, but that is one of the coolest file knives I have seen. Nice work!

That is fantastic! I love the remaining texture of the rasp. Great lines on this one and the large guard looks great.

I have to comment. This has to be one of the best looking Bowies I have seen in a great while. Very elegant lines.
