two new Texas bowies

[Will52100]

Couple of new ones, little one 6" blade of 1084 & 15&20, the 1084 came from Mace BTW. Slow maiden's hair twist, aprox. 500 layer. The big one is 8" blade of drill line wire rope. 6" has sambar crown, the big one Mule deer, both have bronze gaurds and pins and stacked leather. Still have to finish up the sheath for the little one.

I like this style, but am heartily sick of it and want to try something differant. Been so buisy I'm lucky to get these done though, maybe next time in.

Sorry about the small pic size, it wouldn't let me up load files bigger than 100kb.

Those are really nice. I love that style of knife handle and the blade shape too. Very cool!

Hey Will, You did a fine job on both of them!

Will,
Man...those are sweet!:thumbup: Thanks for the opportunity for a shameless plug!

macevitale@yahoo.com for steel info....

How do you like using that 1084 to make your steel?

I don't think your pics do these knives justice..........(I have the same problem with pictures).....
They still look very, very nice!

Nice recurve there! I like the stacked handle too.

 

[Will52100]

Thanks guys.

Mace the steel worked great, I would have prefered it to be a little wider, but that's OK. Also used a couple feet to replace the wear plates on my fathers crawler, they worked perfect for that too!

I like the recurve design, but it's a pain to make a sheath for the upswept blade and the recurve doesn't help.
