Mud Flats Bowie

[TK Steingass]

Greetings All:

I wanted to design a beefy bowie with some subtle flowing lines in the profile so this is what I came up with. The top of the spine is curved as is the slightly curved swedge. The swedge is hollow ground then sharpened - there is also a slight recurve to the flat ground blade.....ricasso is .330", so it's a handful. All comments welcome.

Take care,

TK

That's a nice aggressive looking blade shape. The hamon came out great too!
