This one is a custom order but I haven't shown it to the buyer yet. I hope he likes it or else it will go up for sale here. The blade is 8.25" of 5160 steel, black walnut handle, steel fittings. As usual, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one. thanks!
 
Very nice Bowie. I like the single silver pin in the handle. Gives it an elegant feel. I also think the black walnut accents the knife. I don't see why the buyer wouldn't want that knife.

Thanks for sharing.

I'd prefer it without the filework, but that doesn't take away from the fact that I think it is a very good looking knife.
 
Elegant was a very appropriate word from Reid. I am not normally a bowie guy, but I love the look of that knife! My favorite points would be the scale simplicity and the spine filework. I also like when the blade isn't a lot wider than the tang/handle like on other bowies. That walnut looks really smooth.
 
Thanks for all the compliments guys. This one really came out nicely. I would rank it in the top 3 of all the knives I've made so far. Everything just came together well. I wish the pictures were a little better though.
