San Mai Bowie

[Karl B. Andersen]

A little San Mai action going on with some Ancient Bog Oak.
I've been using 420 Stainless for my San Mai jacket exclusively, for some time, after an in depth conversation with Ric Furrer, who was one of the instigators of this "movement" some years ago.
And, while having some on hand, I thought it would be a bit different to use 420 for all of the fittings as well!
1095 core and 420 San Mai jacket.
Octagonal Bog Oak handle in a full take-down assembly.
Full 10" blade, 15" OAL.
(This is for a dealer).

Great looking blade. All the materials really compliment each other.

Beautiful Bowie!

Super job.....the differing finishes on the guard and pommel really set things off.

That is very nice Karl I really contrast with the SS and bog oak

Karl -- really nice combination of materials, but the handle and fittings are just so....fitting. Well done!

Excellent work!

 

[AVigil]

Wonderful work. You really have outdone yourself. Everything looks just right

That's a real looker right there!
