Trailing point Bowie

[Del Raso Knives]

Last one for the year for me. 15" over all with a 10" blade.

Steel is CPM154, flat ground with a slight convex edge. Construction is threaded thru tang. Fittings are ferric etched 416 SS and domed pins are nickle silver.

Handle is a near perfect piece of Samba stag.

Thanks for looking. Hope you all have a wonderful, safe, and joyous Christmas and New Year. Cheers everyone.

Suddenly my Del Raso collection is looking very sparse!
Outstanding, and just in time for the Best Bowie 2021 thread coming on Dec 26...

Damned fine piece. There are just some makers that have such finely tuned instincts for line, proportion, details, finishes and other intangibles (coupled with the skills to pull it off) that nearly every piece they make is outstanding. Pete is one of those.
