Just Had To Show This!

JK Knives · Dec 11, 2009

If the mods think it`s inappropriate, please move it. I am so excited about this one that I had to show it here. It`s my first Bowie knife I have made, this one is for me. It`s 13" overall, 8" blade, 2" tall, and 1/4" thick, made from O1 steel. It`s also the first time I`ve used ivory micarta with 6 brass pins.

In sheath.

And one more shown with an original Remington derringer in .41 rimfire, and the "Dead Man`s Hand" of aces and eights.

John,
That looks much better than the drawing!

Wabajack · Dec 11, 2009

That ivory micarta really makes that look classy! Very good work.

I\'m a sucker for coffin handles! That is a sweetie John.

Snakedoc · Dec 11, 2009

That is VERY nice!!

I love the handle shape and the ivory micarta just makes it pop.

awesome! no need for a hilt with the blade drop, what is the weight on it?

Looks great! I made one with similar dimensions not to long ago (My chopper ) It handles well for such a large knife. I'm not trying to compare because I'm sure your fit and finish is MUCH better than mine.

Awesome, John, great work! I bet it's going to be a wicked performer!

Nice work John. That would make a good camp bowie style chopper.
