"Little Bowie" EDC made from Tiny Balls Damascus

[bullet101]

Here's the finished blade from the WIP thread here:

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=744252

Here's the specs:

Steel: middle layer 1.2842 (0-2) , outer layers pure nickel with bearing balls
Lengtt: 17,3 cm overall , 9,5 cm blade
Thickness: 5 mm

It's my new design that I christened "Little Bowie". Kind of looks like one and it's no secret that I'm absolute anglophile .

The handle is phased on all edges and sits comfortably in hand. Have to figure out what kind of sheath to make for it to turn it into a trusty everyday companion.

Separate threads with the other two knives to follow soon.

Looking forward to your comments and questions.

Best regards

Marcus

P.S.: Here's little preview of my next project, "Operation Blue Balls" .

I think it's beautiful. I love the Bowie lines and curves, even the recurve blade screams flow. Great work!
