Mesquite Burl Bowie

[D.Crawford]

Here's a frame handle Bowie that I'm putting the finishing touches on. Specs are as follows

- OAL is 15" with a 9.5" blade
- Steel is differentially HT'd W2
- Guard is mild steel with stainless spacer
- Handle is a 1084 frame, fileworked 410 stainless liners, and Mesquite burl slabs.

I welcome your questions or comments. Thanks for looking.

Dudley, Foster & Kirk - thanks guys. This is the first custom knife for the customer that ordered it so I hope he likes it.

I appreciate the feedback,

That's some very handsome mesquite. But I think my favorite part of that knife is the eye-catching shape of the guard. Exceptional Bowie, David. :thumbup:

Thanks Shawn, the guard was fun to do. The customer asked for a wood native to Texas which limited us a bit.
