I just like sayin' "Gidgee Bowie"!
I got a really choice piece of Gidgee from Down Under and mated it with a forged 5160 Bowie Blade about 10 1/4" inches long.
Differential heat treatment on this blade.
The multi-faceted and hot-blued fittings are mild steel.
Handle, of course, faceted to mate the hardware pieces.
Take-down assembly completes this package.
15 1/2" overall.
(Look for this in Atlanta!)

Very nice work. Bet it feels great in the hand.

I also like your quote, as I'm also a big fan of Cheif Joseph:

"Hear me, my Chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever." Cheif Joseph 1877
