Forged Cimarron ironwood bowie

[Bailey Bradshaw]

Here is another

This is a forged Cimarron model bowie. 7" blade of forged L-6, distal tapered, flat ground and has swedges that run almost to the ricasoo. The guard is blued mild steel, a mosaic damascus ferrule, ironwood handle and heat blued mild steel finial and pommel. The pommel is sculpted, and resembles a rifle stock's pistol grip cap. It is simple and clean, but adds a lot of dimension and elegance.

The balance point is at the ferrule giving it a light fell inthe hand. Hope you all enjoy it, let me know what you think.

Bailey, one of these days you're going to have to surprise the heck out of us and make an ugly knife. This is another beauty - the ironwood appears lighter in colour than the usual and is very attractive. That blade profile is one of my absolute favorites as well.

Cheers,

Roger

PS - the photography is coming along nicely

Very nice work Bailey,

Would like to call and see your shop some day.

Another beauty, Bailey. That blade looks like it wasn't the easiest bit of grinding that you have done. I really like that swedge that runs almost the whole length of the spine.
