Stormcrow Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 This Bowie was commissioned by a customer who saw a similar one I had done last year. I had traced it out, so I used that to make a pattern, but tweaked on it a bit. It has a wider handle, which I like better. The steel is 1/4" 80CrV2 steel, with TeroTuf handle scales and flared stainless steel tube rivets. The top bevel is a false edge. I played with the Kydex also, bringing it up onto the handle more than I usually do. It's fitted with a Combat Loop for belt carry. It's a sizeable sucker, with a blade that's 10 7/8" from point to choil and an overall length just under 16 1/2". Balance point is about at the touchmark. The customer commented, "Very nice. Big yet light. Good job." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.C. Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I like how you left the forged, scale pocked finish. It adds tons of character. Excellent quality as always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templehound Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 That is not a Bowie, it is a Crowie.....inhaling classical forms, blend them and heading straight to combat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'm no bowie fan, James, but it looks like you can manipulate me that way Real good job! Bests: Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 S-Crow, Suggest you partially grind a real edge instead of a false edge. It could then be used for a back cut if the initial slash is not "productive" enough or the blade handler wants to inflict more damage. Just a sanguinary thought. Regards, SLAG.

Tubalcain2 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 i like it a lot. only thing that would make it better is if it had a blade guard. it is just fine without it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
