First Primative

[sharpeknives]

This is my first primitive knife. It is also the 2nd offering from: Bad Squirrel Forge.I was reading about Jim Bridger and thought if I could have made him a knife. I wanted to capture that rough Mountain man thing.
This is the : Jim Bridger, Bowie
Blade is 10.5" X 2.25" of 1095 clay quenched
Guard and fittings are 100 year old Wrought Iron.
Guard and fittings were coated in barrel brown then cold blued.
Handle is Sambar stag.
Let me know what you think.

Great looking knife! I think you pulled off the period thing very well. Nice hamon too.

Knife is good --- But, I really like the old iron furniture, that really cinches it for me.
