my first bowie

[Knifemaker87]

hey yall..
this is my first bowie.
its forged O1 i ws wanting som advice on a handle/gaurd. i have a few ideas... but what do you think? i am hoping to have it finished by the atlanta Blade show.

initial grind after forging.. flat ground

heat treating... it is on the far right

this is hand sanded to 800... not sure i want it that high...

waiting on the FC from blueline to etch the hamon

let me know what you think
thanks

I would go with a notched,soldered and pinned out of brass. Looks good though.
