Small Gents Bowie from Potomac Forge

Steve Nuckels · Jul 27, 2012

Just finished this knife, I'm keeping it I think!

Forged 1084 clay quenched and etched. 4" blade 8 1/8" OAL. File worked mild steel guard. Two tone stained curly maple coffin handle with silver wire and domed silver pin in the shield, and scallop work. Tung oil finish. I will make a fancy pouch sheath for it soon. The background is a Possible's Bag a friend of mine made for me that I will use this season.

Superb small Bowie....

Yes, your handle work and wire inlay is extremely nice and a fitting touch on such a fine knife.

VERY nice work Steve. The work on the pommel is especially nice. The blade looks GREAT too!
