Old Time Bowie

[David Stifle]

Hi Guys,

This rustic bowie, in the tradition of the old west, boasts an 11.25" aged blade of 5160 steel. The flat ground blade is partially fileworked in a vine pattern, and the guard and pommel are mild steel. The handle is quite exceptional. This stacked handle is composed of desert ironwood, honey horn (a unique color ofsome buffalo horn), brass spacers, and sambar stage. All in all, there's 14 pieces in the handle, and they all fit together absolutly perfectly. While this is a big knife, with an OAL of 16", it's light and swift.There's a good, solid skull crusher to top it off.

The sheath is dyed, burnished leather, looking like the type of leather you'd see on an old, well used saddle. Brass tacks add a nice period touch.

Asking $450. plus $20. for fees and shipping. Paypal or money order are fine. Paypal info is: dwstifle@yahoo.com

She is wicked looking. Very nice. I like what you have done with the sheath. It goes well with the period knife motif.

Thanks Fred,

Yes, she's a fast, sharp fighter style bowie that feels really good in the hand.
