Trench bowie one off

[BenR.T.]

Hey guys! So I've been on kind of an old school kick lately, looking at a lot of cutlass, military and especially WWII blades.
This is my version of a trench knife. The 9.5" blade is CPM 3V with a large fuller to help balance it out. The guard is wrought iron and the handle is some of my vintage black micarta (from the 60's).
I really don't a lot of sculpted hidden tangs, partly because there are so many makers that just nail them, and partly because I am focused on other styles. This is only my third one probably.

The sheath is also an old school style, but I also made it capable of being mounted with a Tek Lok or molle lok. It is all hand stitched, dyed and waxed.

Pretty pleased with the whole package.

I love your Japanese-style pieces but this is maybe my favorite......just phenomenal my friend!!!!!

I agree with Dudley. Pretty darn incredible. Every nano meter of that knife speaks to me.

If there is a Seattle show next year, and you're going, you'll have to at least have one on the table. Mike

I hope you'll make more of this one.

Stunning! Wouldn’t want to be in the trenches but if I were I wouldn’t feel underarmed with such a blade.
