Sometimes I run across a handle block that screams to be put on a Bowie, this was definitely one of those times. The Blade is made from an old farriers' rasp, heat treated as 1095, with a 7" flat ground blade and unsharpened swedge. The guard is wrought iron with a little of its age left showing and the handle of unknown origin laminated wood, bringing the OAL up to 13"s.

Jordan decided on a black sheath to really show off the handle.

I don't mean to bugger up your thread, but I just wanted to let you know that I've been following your progress and you're doing an awesome job. This is a great knife. It has awesome lines, the handle pops and is truly unique, and th blade shape is ideal for a variety of chores. Keep it up.

Unique, and cool looking. It is so cool to re-purpose an old rasp to make it, like someone in the old days would do with materials at hand. Great job.
 
Thanks guys, typically I'll use Aldo's steel for my knives, but every now and again a knife will call for something a little different.
 
Agree with Tony! That is a cool looking Bowie. I would be all over that if I was looking for a larger knife.
