Large Bowie with artifact handle

[DanGraves]

Here is a knife I just completed. It has an artifact handle from Alaska that is fossil Walrus ivory. It was used as a scraper at the end that I Left as it came out of the ground. It was made by a Siberian Eskimo as at the time America did not own Alaska. I forged the blade from nickel plated ball bearings in the canister method. The blade is 9 7/8 inches and overall is 15 3/8 inches. Thickness of blade is .2900 at the front of guard. Nickel silver guard, ferrule and pin. Very comfortable in left or right hand. It is a handful. Clip is not dull but not razor. It has a nice leather sheath. 550.00 Paypal address is dangraves4923@earthlink.net

Stunning piece. Your ball bearing damascus is probably my favorite damascus pattern, and the nickel coating really makes it pop.
