To show a picture in your post, do this:
[imgREMOVE]http://addressofyourpicturehere[/imgREMOVE]
(I didn't know what would happen if I used the real tags, so delete the REMOVE words and just use "img" in brackets).

That looks like a pretty good first effort from what I can see. Personally I'm not a huge fan of that style of clip point, but that's just my taste (or lack thereof as it may be). I think it looks cool. Does that style of bowie generally not have a guard? Maybe a round double guard, almost tsuba-looking thing would look cool on that style? Great effort and I see it sold already?!
 
Thanks a lot for the tip and the information. I am not 100% sure about the non guard. I have seen them like this without the guard, but my knowledge is limited. This is the type of information I am looking for to improve my next one.
 
Historically the coffin handled bowies didn't have a guard. Nice looking knife, much better then my first.
 
Not bad at all, especially for a first attempt. Looks like you got a pretty good fit and finish.
Keep up the good work!
