The finest in 1840's style! I do get tired of rubber grips, stainless blades and Kydex scabbards!

i'll take it. I mean that's a really nice classic piece of work. all you need now is a flintlock to go with it. lee

Very nice Bowie....

I found this hunk of steel (13.5"OAL) at a yard sale last summer.
Homemade I guess...at $5.00 it's good for splittin watermelons.

Perfect size IMO...... folks tend to over do it......... well unless you don't have the "right gun for Bear" .... or you're dealing with The Walking Dead!!!! :D

That's a nice looking knife. It would great to know the history on that one.

Have you, or will you, make larger Bowie knives?

Like this one, but prefer a longer blade.

Most likely. I did this one to get the hang of the hidden tang and filing the tang through hole, etc.

Fine work, as usual.

Nice skill, I would like to start working more with my hands when I grow up.
