Leaf Spring Bowie.....

Raymond Richard · Feb 22, 2003

Blade was hand forged from an old leaf spring. 8 1/2 X 2 1/2" wide blade with a total length of 14". Bronze fittings with an elk leg bone handle.

Wow, that blade is so wide that when I first saw this Bowie I thought it was a small one. Boy was I wrong. The patina on the blade looks great and I love the leg bone handle. This is a great looking knife. Actually, I think it is a really great looking knife. What kind of sheath are you making for it?

Awesome knife!

I like everything about this knife. Great job!

Keith Montgomery · Feb 23, 2003

So you got that Patina with by dabbing mustard on the blade,huh? I wonder how ketsup would work?

Raymond Richard · Feb 23, 2003

Keith, I'm sure ketsup would work with the tecnique I us. I've been thinking about getting a donation from my bull, Clinton and trying that. I'd have to wear gloves for that....

I appreciate you guys comments....Ray

very nice, Ray.....how 'bout some Tabasco?

Raymond Richard · Feb 26, 2003

Frank, How about some of Jacks Secret Sauce??? Maybe some wooley bully....

Do you stabilize the bone to keep it from shrinking in the future?

I find myself coming back to this knife a lot. It really is a great one.

Raymond Richard · Feb 27, 2003

Keith,
I haven't stabalized the bone yet. Right now the only thing thats holding this knife together is the ring nut. Before I epoxy it it will get stabalized.

I'm not quite sure if I got the right bait for you yet, I feel like I'm still trolling...
