Koa Bowie (Couple new pics added)

[Karl B. Andersen]

I just finished a Koa Bowie for a fellow who was seeking a reddish handle material.
Just so happens I found one in Atlanta a few weeks back at the Blade Show.

Just under 10 inches of clay processed W1, for the distinctive hamon, and a beautiful piece of stabilized Koa, with a stainless steel guard - all in a take down assembly.









Different background changed the contrast a bit and shows the Koa better:

Spectacular my friend!

All of the elements meld seamlessly together to create a stunning Bowie/Fighter....
