Copper Clad Bowie

[D. Crawford]

Here's one I'm just finishing. Gentleman wanted a 6 inch "old-time" Bowie knife with an Oosik handle so I came up with this.
Blade is W2, fittings are file worked carbon steel with hammered copper adornments. This knife is 30 pieces total.
I really enjoyed experimenting with the patina.

Thanks for looking.

More than just, Very nice!
You have created a period piece with a twist from I'm not sure where?
Excellent work.

Very nice knife. I'd be proud to have something like that hanging on my side. Did you make a sheath for it? Any pic's?

Thanks very much gentlemen. Eric, the sheath will be a horizontal carry (my first) and I'll post it
when finished.
