20th Anniversary Bowie
Last year was my 20th year working as a knifemaker,and,to commemorate this occasion I planned 20 anniversary knives (we hadn't completed all 20,still have a few to do).
This Bowie is no 20 of 20,my first Bowie profile,and first flat grind in a knife this size (I've done a few smaller knives over the years).
Specs -
8mm thick Bohler K110,flat ground,hand satin.
446mm (17.5in) OAL
290mm (11.4in) blade .
Oxide blasted,"antiqued" bronze guard.
Handle of Ivory,red ivory,dyed/stabilized curly maple with black fibre liners.
Satin and oxide blasted bronze buttcap.
Bronze pommel.
Cowhide and ostrich shin leather sheath with bronze frog (made in-house as well).
We made "ammo boxes" for each of these knives.
Thanks for looking
