Working Bowie With Hamon

[TK Steingass]

Gentlemen:

The hidden tang in this bowie extends 3/4 of the way into the handle and is set in Acraglas. The exceptional crotch walnut with flame figure was supplied by Don Hanson III. The blade was hand rubbed to 1500 grit then etched - the hamon is quite pronounced and I was pleased with how it turned out. The blade is full flat ground with a convex working edge - the ricasso is radiused at the bottom. There's a small filled void in the walnut with black Acraglas - tough to see but I know it's there. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it" gets it. $250 plus $15 shipping to my paypal account tksteingass@frontier.com. International sales will require additional postage. Maker's lifetime common sense warranty and free sharpening.

Best regards,

TK
