Here's a bowie I am finishing up. In the photos the handle is only slid on; it makes it much easier to do the final detailing before glue up and boxing.

The blade is forged from w2, .25" at the spine, ~7.75", ss fittings, stabilized buckeye burl handle, ~12.5" OAL.

The blade has a very interesting hardening line, I etched, but I did not fully polish the blade. The hardening line is very visible, especially in certain lighting.

Price on this piece is $350 plus shipping, it includes a case, but no sheath. I'd be happy to send it to Kenny Rowe first.

Check here for a few step by step pics.

The stamp came out a little funny...but nothing serious :)

I give this one all of about 5 minutes. Freakin' gorgeous. :eek:
 
Dammit. :mad: Great snag Grapevine, that's a lovely piece. :) Keep up the great work Matt!

Whoever DID snag it has got an outstanding blade from one of the most talented young makers I've run across. Stunning :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the compliments!

Roger, don't worry too much I'll have several pieces that are right up your alley at Blade...several of which are already on their way :).

Grapevine I'll get back with you as soon as I hear from number one ;).
 
Matt, when you named this thread, you had to be referring to the fact that folks would be fighting over this one, right? :D

Seriously cool bowie, man! :thumbup:
