Large bowie with ironwood and hamon for the MKA show

[J. Doyle]

Here's one that will be headed to the MKA show in Missoula on Friday. It's my largest blade to date.

All comments and discussion welcome.

Specs:

Hand-forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched
16 1/2" overall, 11 1/4" blade, .235" thick at the ricasso
Bronze fittings and finial nut
Coined guard and spacer collars
Desert Ironwood handle

And a shot of all the guts.

That is awesome looking knife. I gotta ask tho when making a knife like that Hand-forged like that how long does that take with a knife that long???
