Its been awhile since I have put a knife together. The blade I used for this knife was mostly forged when I did the forging demo 3 weeks ago at Blade West. I spent maybe another hour in the shop to get it to the point where it is in the first photo. Normally when I do the demo's I use Aldo's 1084 because it moves pretty easy and I can get more done in an hour demo. I chose 5160 this time and it slowed me down some. I don't do nothing fast anymore. The finished blade is 9 3/4". I used either a mule deer or a black tail crown for the handle. Iron buggy wheel for the guard and butt cap. The spacer is wrought iron. Overall length is 15 1/2".

I just epoxied this knife thats why the tang hasn't been peened.
 
I'd take it Ray, as it's a scrumptious fit to my crown hunter of yours, but you'd have to wait until Bush or Obama bails out my 401k, which bellied up yesterday.

YES! Raymond:thumbup:
 
Came to drool again Ray...

I think I missed it, why is it called PNW Bowie?
 
She has a beautiful flow :thumbup: And I like the smoothened stag very much :thumbup: It makes a more comfy handle compare to the crustier one :thumbup: The lazy S guard matches the gentle flow of the handle and the blade as well :thumbup:

Thanks for showing Ray ;)

Good Lord Ray... that knife is spectacular! I like pretty much everything you have posted, but for some reason... this one really speaks to me! It's gonna make someone real happy!
 
Another great lookin' big one and have to agree about the smooth stag feeling right, in hand. :thumbup:
Very nice and unmistakably yours, Ray. :cool:

Hi Raymond,
I'm in love with your amazing art works since several years, you never let me down, that bowie is perfect. Unfortunately I haven't enough money to own one of your beauties (yet), but I'm saving some money. Thanks for the photo.
