Stag Bowie

[David Loukides]

Just finished this one today.
The finish on the blade is 2000 grit and 3 rub downs with flitz. The 3rd pic shows a pretty nice mirror finish for 5160. Wendy pointed out a "small" hesitation in a finish stroke. I put a lot of time in the finish so I will put a couple more strokes to make it right.
Wendy is my best critic and encourager.

Comments Welcomed.

Funny how your wife can always find a wrinkle in that otherwise great finish isn't it? Great looking knife David and nice stag.
