I make this bowie a year ago, when i didn't had a properly belt grinder but just a DiY store grinder and a disc grinder.
I called "The Brotherhood" intending to be a tankfullness to other knifemaker and friends that help me and support from my beginning.
Before this i've never done something similar and was a real challenge to me, i hope you like it.

The blade is a SanMai made with k600 for sides and o1 for the edge, forged by some friends
Guard ad ferrule are oil burnished mild steel and brass
The frame handle is made with the same steel of the blade with european deer scales
The wood sheat are covered with cow leather

Tot lenght about 18"
Blade Lenght about 12"

I'm sure a huge amount of work and planning went into this project, and the finished piece is very worthy of the effort! Love it!

I'm as much impressed by the details of the drawings here as I am by the knife itself and the limited tool supply you used. Gives me hope that even I could just possibly manage one at some stage!!!

Great knife !!!!
 
a nice looking package indeed. D guard is a bit squarish for my taste but overall well done and i'm sure whoever is or will be the owner will love it.
