Ledus (Lay-dus: Latvian for ice) This bowie was a commission that was inspired by my La Brea Bowie from a few years ago. I think the new one came out quite well, what do you think?
Specs:
Blade Length: 12 inches
Overall Length: 17.5 inches
Guard, Spacer, and Frame: Shibuichi
Liners: silver
Pin: silver
Handle: stabilized blue maple burl
For those of you more knowledgeable on knife history I am trying to find out if anyone has used shibuichi to make a frame on a bowie before. The frame, guard, and spacer were all carved in wax and cast. I do not recall seeing a cast frame on a bowie before but would love to see other examples if you know of them.
Thanks for looking.
