Hey there everybody! I've been making these tributes of the iconic Western 49 Bowie for a while now.
These are significantly smaller and handier IMO than the original Bohemeth. Hope you like it! They have significant modifications, especially the extra long and extra bent brass guard, I dialed that back a lot. The handle contours on these are very different than the sharp angles on the original too, much more rounded. And of course it’s a hidden tang.
Steel is 5/32” x 1 1/2” in 80CRV2 with heat treat for 60/61. Hand sanded to 600 grit for a fine satin finish. The edge was about .012” before sharpening. Balance is at the plunge.
Dimensions: 11 3/4” OAL, tip to guard is 6 7/8”
The Brass guard is finished to 1200 grit. The handle is Macassar Ebony with red and black spacers, finished to 1200 grit, then oiled and waxed. The handle feels great in my average sized hand with room to spare. It's been a few years since I did my Bighorn Sheep on the sheath. I need to get back into the animal spirits more.
Price is $220 to your US door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority. Paypal, check or MO, and the price includes fees and free shipping in the US.
Thanks so much for looking and please feel free to ask anything here or via PM.
