The blade is from old steam engine boiler plates 17" X 2" X 1/4" thick.
Overall it is 24". The guard is of the same steel 3/4" wide. The handle scales
are canvas micarta set in black oxe leather with stinless bolts.
The blade is beveled but yet unsharpened.

Very nice. That looks almost like a huge bowie or a short sword, impressive either way.

I would love to see some close ups of the blade and handle. I like that finish.
 
That's one of the Coolest D-guard's I've seen.The Lines look Slimmer for this style of knife,making it Quicker in Hand.The Longer Top Clip Doesn't Hurt the Overall Look Either.Keep Up the Great Work.

Thanks,
I'm making a adjustable crossdrawel sheath for it.
This knife is sold at $ 220.
I goofed on the serrations. They were 5" in a sketch that
I drew and agreed to. I took $ 30. off for my mistake.
I'll post pics. of the sheath when done.
How's my pricing for a custom of this sort.

I love it. Makes me want to walk up to Crocadile Dundee and say that's not a knife, This is a Knife mate!
 
There's a place in Gettysburg called "The Union Drummer Boy" that has a great collection of D-guard Bowies, It's very impressive, if you are in the area you really should see them!

And it's a beautiful knife you have, because I'm not clear...is that a knife you had customzied, did you make it, or buy it as is?
 
I made it. I'll be making a similar one shortly for a member here. I also make
my own sheathes.
Thanks,
Mike
