I just finished this one for another forumite. DEsigned to be quick, it balances just in front of the guard.

Specs - 8-1/4inch forged 1095 blade with a hamon. Just over 5/32inch thickness. Flat ground, convex edge. 416SS oval guard and a handle of stabilised Ringed Red Stringybark - a kind of eucalypt (gum) tree. The chatoyant effect doesn't show well in photos.

I'll post links to the sheath pics as soon as its dry. Thanks for looking. Jason.

:eek: That's right up there with the best of the modern bowies in my book (as a practical use blade).
 
Oh Jason..... :eek: ..........you've outdone yourself, if that's possible!!!

Love the shape of that handle and it goes without saying what I think of the rest of it!!!! :D :cool:

That handle material is cool looking stuff.

Awesome blade design as well.

Another exceptional knife, Jason. It has wonderful lines and I really like the very slight dropped edge. That is really nice wood.
 
That is exceptional!
Jason, what are the 3 marks on the guard in the close-up picture?
 
Jason, you don't have to pay to post your pics in the thread. Just put IMG tags around the link like this
. I always figured you did it to keep from eating up your bandwidth.
