~SOLD~ Big forged 52100 Bowie

[NickWheeler]

Hi Guys!




I've got a big 'ol fighting Bowie knife available.

The blade was forged down from 1-3/4" 52100 round stock that I purchased from Ms Ray Kirk. It was fully hardened in my salt bath, and tempered back to 60 Rockwell. It has a "differential" hand-rubbed satin finish- the main bevels and flats were taken to 800X, the sharpened clip bevels were taken to 1200X, and the spine&choil were rounded and mirror polished.

Guard is 416 ss with 800X finish on face & sides, mirror polished on the inside of the lugs.

Spacers are black G10 and 416 ss, the domed/polished pin is also 416 ss.

Handle is professionally stabilized, spalted Sycamore.


OAL- 16-3/8"
Blade- ~11-1/4" L (just under) x 2-1/16" W x 0.280" thick at the guard


SOLD

Thanks for checking out my work!

It is killing me to have to pass on this one. Nick I hope it moves soon, it is such a temptation!!

 

[knnut]

I will take it !

 

[NickWheeler]

Thanks fellas... This one has found a new home.


Thank you all for checking this out!!!

 

[JParanee]

Can't believe this piece lasted that long

Knut you have one of the cleanest Bowies I have seen in a long time

This is high art and not due to embellishments due to detail

That to me is impressive

A well finished carbon blade is the highest form of the art in many ways

Congrats

 

[Van Zanten]

Such a beautiful knife

 

[Redsnake1997]

That's quite nice Nick!!

What did that bad boy sell for?

 

[Bigfattyt]

I have been eying this since it was posted. If I had the funds available, it would have been an instant "I'll take it!".


Well bought, and a fantastic piece!
