here's a first, - mediterranean bowie

B . Buxton · Jul 20, 2003

I finished this up yesterday, its a first time for me to do this type of bowie.
OAL 12 1/8" with a 8 1/8" blade, the damascus is a radial mosaic pattern made from 1080 and 15n20, which I also used for the bolster and pommel, the handle material is african blackwood with nickel spacers.

Thanks,

Bill

Wild looking steel. Looks great. Doubles as a butcher's knife.

The Mediterranean bowie / dirk is one of my favorite knife styles. Yours is a very interesting and beautiful interperetation - I like it!
