The Baron Bowie - WIP.

[Eduardo Berardo]

Hello guys.
My work at the Police Academy is really cool. I have learned a lot.
The distance from the headquarters of my house and my workshop has made me produce very little. The bladesmithing became a hobby which gives me much pleasure.
Until I return to work in the police in my town things should stay that way.
I have watched the bladeforum silent.
Recently finished a job that I liked. I made a photographic record of work in progress.
A bowie with 10 inches long and 2 inches wide blade. English false edge. Damascus guard and spacer. Mammoth ivory handle.
The damascus pattern is made from Arkansas Breeze W pattern.
A big hug to everyone. Hope you enjoy.
I would be honored if you post your impressions.

Eduardo beautiful work as usual, what is the goop in the sink I am guessing the other tank with the thermometer is your etchant?

 

[Eduardo Berardo]

Thanks for your words Guys.
Hello Mike, the goop in the sink is acid attack (ferric perchlorate).
The tank with the thermometer is manganese phosphate.
God blesses,
