Forged random damascus/amboyna burl bowie SPF

[Rick Lowe]

I forged this blade awhile back and just hadn't taken the time to finish the whole project. Over the last week I shoved some leather work to the side and put it all together. It's a light, quick blade with some really fantastic burl for the handle. The forging left an interesting "S" pattern through the steel (which is hard to pick up in the photos). The clip is semi sharpened back 3 1/4" from the tip. Composition of the steel is 1095, 15N20 and nickel for contrast. Construction of the handle is a through tang threaded to the end cap, 01 oval guard and end cap with buffalo horn spacers. Includes custom RLO sheath. Here's the spec's:
OAL: 14"
Blade: 9 1/8"
Width: 1 1/4"
Thickness: 5/32" at the guard with long, gradual distal taper
Price: $625 including shipping in USA. I accept PayPal (ruger315@charter.net), USPS money order or check when cleared.

Thanks to all of you guys for the kind works!
Paul- I use your work as a point of reference for lines and finish, so I think this one would meet your approval.

Looks like this one is SPF through a just received pm.
