Finally after all the bad luck (again,does it ever stop)I finished up a couple.
Here is a 9 1/2 inch bladed Frontier style Damascus Bowie.It has a brass spacer in front of the stainless guard and a 4 1/2 inch handle of Bark Bone with a thin Nickel silver buttcap and stainless pins..
What ya think,Do I still have my eye or should I try another before a order..

And here is a 6 inch woodgrain Damascus Bladed straight back Bowie,back edge is full chisel grind with a stainless guard and nickel silver ferrule and buttcap with a 4 1/4 inch Bark bone handle with stainless pins...
How about this one....
Sorry about the fuzzy pictures,I have got to work on the picture taking now that I have the saving problem figured out..

Sorry Bruce,
not good enough...
you'll have to send them to "Uncle Wally's Home For Knives"

:p
:rolleyes:
:D
:D
:D

Awesome (as usual)!
 
You still got your eye. I can't say which I prefer, I like that long blade on the first and that handful of a handle on the second... I sure like it when you post pics, but it's hard to concentrate with Donna in there. :D Have a heart, Dude!

Love em both Bruce. I don't think you can turn out a bad knife. I do kinda hate to see a chisel grind on one of your knives though.
 
Thanks for the kind words everybody..
Peter as for the chisel grind,The blade itself is a normal grind.But on the original Bell Bowies I was under the impression that the back edge only went half way thorugh the blade but I was corrected on this by Alex,Bell did his with a chisel grind on the back edge.So I wanted to try doing this even though it wasn't a Bell reproduction,makes the knife look really cool also,boths sides are different just like Bell used to do his,most of his handles were different patterns on each side also from what I have been told.

Here is a better close up of the handle of the Bowie.Chuck Bybee---Titanium Man--- Is now carrying the bark Bone handle scales "For Sale"
for me.He will have some up on his web site soon,He does have a bunch of it available now if any one is interested just email him..

Thanks guys..
I just can't help myself showing off this new coloring on the bones,I think they look cool..
