Wow that is a beautiful knife!! I have designed one very similar that I am waiting to make myself. I love the way it is simple looking, but so elegant. Hope the one I want to make comes out that well.

I say it again after looking at that knife, it's been a fantastic year on this forum

Very nice Dave. Don't often see a stainless steel bowie in the style of traditional bowies. Who does your heat treating? How does the knife cut?

Thanks for your Comments!!!
Ray Z. This Bowie and Sheath were made entirely in my shop. The heattreat was done by myself with info recieved from Crucible Metal. As for its cutting ability the knife has never been used. I hope the new owner gives some feed back. The other Bowies I have made have been O-1 and 1084, I made this one CPM 154 Just to make this one different.
