Hi ladies and gents-
I have a nice medium sized bowie available for sale. It's a nice size for a pack knife or as a camp/field bowie. It's not exactly small and it isn't too big to carry but it is lean light and fast.
I really like this Silky Oak wood. It works nice and finishes nice and it has a different look every way you look at it. The side view is different than the bottom and top and the end is different still. This piece is NOT dyed. It is a natural two-tone piece. I like how it's dark on top and light on bottom. Reminds me of how fish are colored.
Specs:
Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched and polished out a bit more than my usual.
11 1/2" overall, 7" blade, .215" thick at the ricasso
Heavily rounded spine and ricasso edge
False edge is not sharp (but it's pretty close)
Black g-10 guard
Black g-10 and bronze spacers
Stabilized silky oak handle
Checkered bronze finial nut
The price is $675 and includes shipping to the US and paypal. I will be happy to discuss shipping with out of country buyers.
There is no sheath with this one but I would be happy to discuss sheath options with you. My personal recommendation is to send it to Claude Scott, a professional sheath maker that I am now working with. But we can talk about those options if you'd like.
If you would like to be added to my email list for available knives, please email at jdoyleknives AT gmail DOT com
Thanks for taking a look!
