New Bowie/ Fighter

[raylaconico]

I thought I'd share these pictures with you guys of my latest bowie. I don't get to make a lot of bowies lately but I have a lot of fun when I do. This one has an 8" blade out of O1 steel. The handle is ebony with mild steel fittings. Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys for the nice comments!

Dave, I'm not with the ABS but I plan to join soon. I've been working with Mike Vagnino lately and he thinks I should go for it.

Nice one Ray. Are you going to stamp your knives on the ricasso in the future?

 

[raylaconico]

Thanks again guys for the comments. Here are some more pictures of the knife and the sheath that I just made for it.

kamagong: I don't usually put my name there but I've done it in the past and I thought it would look good on this one.

Crisp clean lines on the sheath to match those of the knife. Great job!
