10 3/4" forged blade of W-1, clay heat treated with hamon. The blade is finished to 1500 grit. Kind of a Southwest style blade shape. Thickness at the spine is .315", so it's beefy, but quick.

The guard is 416ss, press fitted of course. The handle is snakewood, one of my favorite woods to work as it smells like nutmeg. The handle is 5". The finial is 303 stainless. The knife is a takedown.

Kind of a clinical description for truly...one of the best bowies I have made. Some just have that extra something that makes them special. The feel, balance, fit and finish are all as good as I can recall producing. I am really proud of it.

I will send a tracing of the blade to Kenny Rowe for a sheath. Price, shipped CONUS is SOLD (that includes the sheath from Kenny). I accept visa and MC, paypal and check.

Thanks,

Beautiful work Mr. Bradshaw! I'll likely never be able to afford one, but seeing it is a great inspiration to continue making knives in hopes that I can someday make something half as nice.
