Finished Cable Damascus Bowie

[RyanW]

Thanks everyone (Sam, Will, Matt, Rick, and Salem) for the input on my other thread HERE about getting this Damascus to show up a bit better. I am still not really satisfied with it but I am tired of polishing this thing!

Specs:
Steel: forged Cable Damascus
OAL: 15"
Blade: 9"
Guard: 1080
Handle: Cocobolo
Pins: 1/4" Aluminium Tubing

I made a lot of mistakes through out this process. It is my first forging session, my first bowie. The Damascus has inclusions, the guard still shows some scratches... Blah, Blah, Blah

Comments/Criticism welcome!

I agree with Matthew, very nice knife.

Thanks again Matt and Darrin! I finished up the sheath today. I will try to get pics up when I get some time.

decided to try my hand at an Inlay sheath, Not to bad for a first.... the inlay was nice Tan marbled leather (That the knife is laying on) that would have gone great with the cocobolo, but I got some black dye on it so now it is Black (Sucks I know). I will know better next time.
