Just finished this W2 Bowie

[i4Marc]

Just finished this one. It has taken forever. I kept getting interrupted by work, life, other orders, etc. This is a well balanced knife. It's very quick and nimble in the hand. The swedge is just as sharp as the edge. Let me know what you think.

Blade Steel: Aldo's W2, finished to 1500X
Blade Length: 12" to the guard, 11.5" edge
Guard: 416SS with black G10 and copper spacers
Handle: Stabilized Koa with copper pin
OAL: 17 & 7/8"
Sheath: Hand stitched leather

I really liked your hog hunting bowie pair, I think I like this one even more.

Shane,

I began my Apprentice Smith membership with the ABS the first of this year. So I have a few years to get ready. I'm working on it.
