My frist bowie, have posted it on another forum but is the first time here. Thought I would try to post a pic. Hope it works?!?!

Wow - you sure got off to a great start - what a terrific-looking knife! I love the detail work on the pommell and clamshell guard. How about some details - blade steel, handle material, dimensions and such? Very nicely done.

Cheers,

Roger

That is a beautiful knife. I personally would prefer a longer blade, but for a small Bowie this one is exceptional. Wonderful carving on the pomel and guard and I really like the ferrule.

As Roger posted, please tell us more about this knife.

Mark,

the bowie looks great. Nice use of color and the blade finish looks very nice.

I am just up the road from you. I live in Diana. Give a call if you want, (903)968-2029

It must just be the picture, but that blade doesn't look to be 7 1/2". It looks about the same length as the handle. Do you have any other pictures of this knife?

Excellent all the way around. As said earlier, the guard and pommel are fantastic. That has to be one of the most original guards I have seen. Gentleman's bowie or art knife? I would have to say she is clearly in the second category.
