small bowie

[kevin -the professor]

Hello Everyone,
I made a little bowie for fun. The steel is w2, the handle is curly oak stained with aqua fortis, wrought iron guard, mild steel bolster, copper pin and spacers.

Blade = 6"
handle = 4.75"

I am not as experienced with bowies as I am with swords or hunting knives. I wanted to make this one for fun, though.

and now a few shots of the hamon. This is actually one of the more lively hamons I have ever gotten on a small blade. I really like it.

Thanks for looking. comments are welcomed.

Looks like a nice size; i wouldn't have thought it was a 6" blade from the pics. And the hamon came out real nice.
