'Nother SOG inspired bowie

[WalterDavis]

Here's one with a little different handle treatment! I wanted a handle that more matched the military heritage of the blade design while still being comfortable, hand filling, and versatile:thumbup: The slightly egg-shape natural micarta handle scales (on top of black liners) make the handle much more ergonomic than they'd appear at first glance. That, couple with the balance point being right on your first finger, make this knife fast in hand, but by sliding your hand back just one finger width shifts the balance far enough forward to make the knife great for snap-cuts:thumbup: Hefty but not heavy, she's like a beautiful, big-boned country girl-easy on the eyes, hard-working and fun to play with, too

The knife itself is 11 1/8" overall, 6 3/8" tip-to-scales. She's made out of 3/16" 1075 with a 3/4 height convex grind to an almost zero edge. The edge bevels are machine finished, the flats are left as heat-treated, the entire blade has an blued finish and the exposed metal on the handle is lightly blued to help resist corrosion.






I'm asking $spf135(140) for 'er, shipping in the US and all fees included. Paypal (preferred) or USPS MO, only, please. That price also includes a basic pouch-type leather sheath(see pics below).

Thanks,

Walter

I love your SOG interpretation. Classic look, high quality and looks like it would cut like a dream. Great knife.

Bringing this one up with a bit of sad news. I was showing it to a buddy a couple of days ago and I didn't notice him playing with the actual blade, but when I picked it up there was a blotch in the finish:grumpy:

So, since I've got to hit it with sandpaper again, I figured I'd let the buyer decide if he want's the etched finish put back on, or if he wants it cold blued:thumbup: It's got to be here for a couple of days while I make the sheath, so I figured I put the option out there for the buyer. I can make a basic kydex sheath also, if it's preferred

Thanks,

Walter

Alrighty, I made up a mid-ride pouch style sheath with a bit of tooling on 'er. Nothing too special, almost plain enough to disguise the awesomeness of the knife inside of it It fits well, though, and you can hold the whole assembly upside down and the knife stays in place. A bit of a price drop to help move it, too:thumbup: And, as always, if you'd like a something different with the sheath (kydex, or left-handed leather) just let me know!

Very nice knife and sheath, and at a great price, too! The darker color blade looks good with the handle and sheath, IMO

 

[WalterDavis]

Thanks! I'm really starting to like the contrast between the blued blade and the tan handles, too!
