Walnut and Steel

[lwrhea]

I recently finished this large Bowie. It is forged of 80crv2 steel where I left some forging on the sides and spine. The fittings are stainless of which some are forged. I ripped up some kiln dried Walnut and stacked it for this handle. I dyed it and sealed it with Danish Oil.

Very good performance. Sparingly from expression. Nothing superfluous. Clean and elegant. :thumbup:

Awesome knife! I love your unique style and how you shape your handles and fittings to match the blade. :thumbup:

I got some leather work back from Kenny Rowe and this Bowie's sheath was among it.

that is nice. I make my using knives out of 80CrV2, also. Love that steel, for hard use stuff. Your work is always inspirational.
