All sold or withdrawn.

I went a bit wild after discovering the knifemakers' area of the Exchange this year. I have here three large bowies bought within the last few months. All fantastic knives, but they need to go to a home where they will be better used. I am offering these at or below what I paid including shipping within US. First to post I'll take it, followed by a PM will get them. I'm using the pictures from the original listings, but these are all exactly as received.

First a real beast of a bowie forged from 5160 by GL Drew. Blade is around 12" long, and 0.25" thick, tapering slightly. Handle is a buffalo leg bone. Very agricultural looking, but surprising nimble in the hand - balance is right under the hook at the top of the s-guard. $310->295

PRICES reduced. I am travelling for a while from Thanksgiving, so these don't got over the weekend, it'll probably go quiet from me for a while. I won't come down very far on price, as the knives are too nice.

Second is a TG Steingass Loveless-style bowie with a spalted curly maple handle and red liners. The knife is over 7" of 0.25" thick Aldo's W2, differentially heat treated with a visible harmon. Blade has been etched and hand-rubbed, and is soldered to the guard. Comes with a right-hand leather sheath. $440->420

Last, but certainly not least is a huge bowie of differentially tempered 5160 from Ben Tendick. The blade is 14" long, but made from 3/16" stock with a slight taper, so it is actually extremely fast in the hand. The handle is made from elk antler. The sheath has a rattleskin inlay. The handle butt, guard and stud on the sheath are all hammered and blued for a matching look. This really is an incredible package. $675->650

Hi Pete. Your email still doesn't like me, so I sent you another visitor message with the shipping details.
