Ironwood Bowie

[Karl B. Andersen]

This is an Ironwood Bowie with a long clip.
9 1/2" blade forged from large stock 5160 and selectively hardened.
Hot-blued steel take-down fittings, with polished flutes and facets, mated to a really clean piece of Desert ironwood.
15 inches overall length.
Thanks for sharing with me.
(Will be on my table at Blade '08.)

Beautiful. Of course I dont think I have ever seen you post an ugly knife. Great job.

Oh boy, that one is awesome! Nice blade.

I agree, it looks real good.
I like the use of the off-center modified oval guard, it fits the design real well.
