For your consideration is this bowie in W-2/Royal Walnut. The Royal Walnut is Exhibition Grade with extremely tight, 100% fiddleback figure on both sides. I selected this wood from a 10 year old gunstock blank I paid $500 for and I have plenty more! The flat ground blade was hand rubbed to 1200 grit and etched/polished to reveal a vivid hamon line. The swedge is almost sharp on this bowie while the top of the spine and bottom of the ricasso are rounded. The tang extends 2/3 of the way into the handle and is set in G/flex marine grade epoxy and a 1/8" stainless pin. The handle has 10 coats of Truoil with all the pores filled for a glass like finish. The black micarta spacer is both coined and fullered. The upper guard sweeps forward to the tip and extends about 1/2" above the rounded spine. At .200" thick at the ricasso, this is a fast and light bowie. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it," PM, or email gets it. $575 delivered CONUS. Paypal preferred to tksteingass@frontier.com. This bowie is also listed on my website. Thanks for viewing and your comments are welcome.
