Frame Handle Southwest Bowie

[D.Crawford]

Some dry fit pics of my first try at a frame handle style knife. Blade of 1084 is 6 3/8" and OAL is 11 3/8". The guard is Damascus and the frame and ferrules are heat and oil blued 1084 with light file work. Coffin handle slabs are stabilized Afzelia wood.

I've really enjoyed the process so this won't be my last frame handle.
Comments are welcome.

Thanks for looking.

It's a beauty! Love the blade profile and the handle material!

Nice work!
