Hi Folks- :)


I've got a big fighter (fighting bowie) available.

This knife was forged from 1095 and quenched in brine, it has a hand sanded finish, 416 stainless guard with 1200X satin finish on the sides and mirror polished inside lugs, stabilized Oak burl handle, 416 and black G10 spacers, and a domed 416 pin. The sheath is all hand saddle stitched and fully tooled, veg tanned cowhide.

OAL- 16"
Blade- 10-5/8"L x 1-3/4"W x 0.300 thick at guard

Thanks for checking out my work...!!! :)

SOLD--- Thank you Peter! :)

There's a reflection on the ss spacer that looks like a flaw, but it's just a reflection...

Ahhhh... I am very happy to know this is going to such a good home Peter! :D Thank you!!! :)

I'm running to town with the boss shortly, but I can give you a ring this w-e if you'll be around...?

Thanks Peter!!! :)
 
Wow, what a knife. OMG, please close this thread or mark it sold! It is hell to view and see it is unobtainable.
 
At first glance I thought "Hmm, that's new, I've not seen a Wheeler knife with sanding marks left on the handle before." Then realized it was just the grain. Like your others I've seen before, a very clean and attractive blade profile as well as the hardware. Matter of fact, following your work is what prompted me to recently start planning some bowie-type blades.
