Half Penny Bowie

[Gary Mulkey]

Here's my latest. The blade is a San Mai of 1084 & 15N20 with a half penny guard of Damascus. The handle is of ironwood burl. The pommel wrap is of N/S.

Nice work, I really love the look of the blade steel. That looks about traditional as they come.

Get out of town!!! That is beautiful!

Was instantly transported back to yesteryear... and that is meant as a compliment.

I should have gone looking for knives, instead of dining at the Top of The Rock when last in Branson.

There is a lot to like about that one. I wish the fit between the handle slabs and the guard spacers was a bit more seamless.

Really nice work Gary, I really love how everything complements each other.

The fit may appear loose but actually is tight & seamless. It looks loose as I beveled the matching edges intentionally so that should the wood scales ever swell or shrink slightly then the junction wouldn't have a sharp edge.

I didn't say loose. I'm sure it's nice and tight. In any case, I love the proportions and the look of it. Great job.

Love the style of this! Beautiful execution too.
