Default pic's of my forged bowie
here are the only 2 pics i've got of my first forged bowie style. OAL is 11 7/8", blade is 6 5/8' made from an old harrow disc. the handle is bloodwood with ironwood and copper screen spacers--the S guard is wrought. the sheath is mesquite bark wood with leather spacer and bloodwood bead. this was made for a friend at work, and is really my first "commission"----he was very pleased and for that, so was I.
thanks for looking........mike

I like how you left the rough forged steel on the side.

Very nice work, Mike. Looks like a fighter to me. I love what you do with handles and sheaths.
