Got back to the big Bowie this a.m..
This was a slow start on this one due to a lengthy hiatus from grinding and getting used to new equipment. After a couple small knives, I started a small Bowie and then a medium and as my comfort level increased I threw the big guy back in the mix.
I'm learning a lot here, thanks to all of you posting your questions, works, and responses to others.
Tge handle shape is ever evolving ( a benefit of hogging out the shape bigger than needed. This WIP will be slow as I grind a little, study a little and change my mind frequently.
If you see me messing up, or see a way I
could go in a better direction with this knife let me know, I really don't mind critique, as long as there is a suggestion going along with it.
Thanks.
