Small Bowie

[Bill Siegle]

Here’s a cool small Bowie Knife I’ve made. Originally it was a blank I’d cut and immediately hated. I finally found a way to use it in a way that works very well. Inspired by some of Fred Perrin’s work, I went with a short scale on the handle with a large finger choil. It really feels great in my hand I made this Bowie from .200in thick 5160. The scales are textured black G10. The sheath is black Boltaron with a reversible belt loop. Overall it is 10 9/16in. The blade is 6 7/8in tip to scales. Weight is a super easy to carry 8oz! The cold blued blade has flat grinds. The swedge isn’t sharpened. The price is $300 ***sold***shipped in the US.

That's clean!

A Siegle Perrin is hard to pass up... any chance you'd be able to sharpen the swedge?

 

[Bill Siegle]

The angles are not set up for a cutting edge. That being said the swedge is zero ground and will back cut and rake very well

Damn fine specimen!!!! I'd like to play with that one..............One day....
Nice work sir.....

I'd love to see something similar with a slightly more pronounced clip and sharpened top edge.

That being said, this example is superior to one of Fred's Street Bowies, which are far thinner and lighter.

I received this today and it does not disappoint! Feels really good in the hand. If Bill makes any more, try it out!
