I have for sale a forged bowie in 5160. This knife has a 600 grit hand finished blade with nice distal taper. The handle is juniper burl from Ruidoso, NM on my wife's family place, stabilized by K and G. The guard is stacked layers of stainless and copper, soldered together for a seamless fit between layers. This knife was a JS practice piece, and is nice and clean. OAL is 12 3/4 with a 8" blade. Right hand sheath with a keeper strap. $500

I soooo want to buy this but I just started a bowie project with AVigil. Gorgeous work.
 
Beautiful knife from my hometown!
Jason might not know it but he's one of the guys that got me into this wild ride called knifemaking.
