Gent's concealed back-up Bowie SOLD

[NickWheeler]

Hi guys---




Here's a new one, fresh out of the shop.

I'm a huge fan of big blades, but most folks can't actually carry a big 'ol knife. Most folks could, however, carry this one. Since "concealed" seems to be a dirty word, I try to be careful using it. :foot:

It's a stout little blade forged out of 1084, with my favorite profile for a fighting bowie (some belly for slashing, a point that can penetrate much like a dagger, and a sharpened clip), 416 stainless guard & domed pin. The stabilized Koa handle is slender (only about 1/2" thick).

OAL- 9-5/16"
Blade- 4-13/16"L x 1-1/16"W (at widest) x 0.216" thick at ricasso (nearly 1/4")

Looks like this one has a new home SOLD + actual shipping costs to your door

Thanks for looking!

The handle looks flat on the sides, but the "flat" actually has a slight crown. This is not supposed to be a big handful of knife... but for the intended grip, it is, IMHO, very comfortable.

Greg, it's all yours my friend--- THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

I wasn't sure how folks would take this knife. It's something I've wanted to make for a long time. There are many times when we're out & about that I wish I had something... just in case. But you never know if anybody else will like the idea until you put it out there. So I really appreciate the encouragement guys!
