Orient Style Bowie

[M.Klein]

Hello Forumites

Here we go with the last Bowie I finished up for the Show next weekend.

Its a large Bowie. The Inspiration of that pice came from some Osmanic Sword I have seen the last time.

The damascus 1.2842 + C75ni8 was forged by myself and just has 26 layers.
The handle I made from a nice black pice Ebony Wood with some abalone inlays at the pommel. The fitting for the guard are Blacked.

I am sorry for the bad pics. I am not able to make good pics off such big knives.

Regards Murat

Thanks Guys for your kind words.

I Love to play with the design of big " Bowie " knives.
And to make them like my way... these kind of Knifes never becomes boring to make.
