Leatherwoods Bowie

[Ben Seward]

Here's one I just finished up. 10 in. blade of 1075, desert ironwood, stainless fittings, and nickel silver file worked spacers. Just had Chuck shoot it... he did a great job. I should have this one at Little Rock... the collector is going to let me borrow it. THis one has been a challenge with a lot of new things for me. Your comments and critiques are welcome.
Thanks, Ben

That's a nice one, Ben. I like the forward-leaning guard!

 

[RogerP]

Exceptionally nice lines, and I particularly like the execution of the guard. I'll be sure to check that out at the show and congrats to the no doubt happy owner.

Great looking knife Ben and David has done an excellent job of making the sheath to match the knife.

 

[Ben Seward]

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words. This is by far the most difficult piece I've attempted...so I'm really glad y'all like the results. Thanks to John White for the tips on heat-treating the 1075.
Thanks again, Ben
