Fighter-Bowie

Dale Baxter · Nov 16, 2003

It's a 9" 15" OAL Fighter-Bowie. The handle is Stellar Sea Cow and ebony, the guard is German Silver and there is a silver lizard (not shown) embedded in the ebony butt cap.
The blade was forged from L-6 and the temper line is similar to a Itame Hada (wood grain) found on Japanese style pieces. The polish is a clean 2000 grit hand polish and the fit is tight.
This is one of the knifes I have available on my website and one of the 10 knives I am going to bring to the Baltimore show next month.

Well?...what do you think?

Thanks for looking,

I think it looks great. Stellar Sea Cow bone is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. I really like the way you have put only a very slight dropped edge on this knife. The fit and finish look excellent. This is something that I have noticed in all of your knives that I have seen.

Nice bowie. But, I'm going to wager that this one doesn't make it to Baltimore.

Shouldn't have any trouble attracting onlookers with this one.

The picture may be a little better as well.

Great looking Bowie.

Your picture looked a little hazy to me so I thought I would experiment and clear it up a little. I hope you don't mind.

Edited:
AT&T servers are down.

This picture will come back up when they do.

Wow! That looks great, is the sea cow stabilized?

After looking at the choil and butt cap of the fighter bowie, my admiration for the knife went up another notch!

Fantastic work...very, very clean

Dale Baxter · Nov 20, 2003

Thank you all so very much!

Yes the Sea cow is stabilized(as all my natural materials)and thank you for edithing the picture...Photography is my weak point.

I will be posting the knives I plan to bring to Baltimore next month here for critique, and would appreciate your comments with them as well.

Thanks,
