Hello Everyone,
I made a little bowie for fun. The steel is w2, the handle is curly oak stained with aqua fortis, wrought iron guard, mild steel bolster, copper pin and spacers.
Blade = 6"
handle = 4.75"
I am not as experienced with bowies as I am with swords or hunting knives. I wanted to make this one for fun, though.
and now a few shots of the hamon. This is actually one of the more lively hamons I have ever gotten on a small blade. I really like it.
This is a beautiful handle, and the blade is well-balanced, the copper spacers set the guard off well. The guard is wrought iron, the bolster is mild steel.
Thanks for looking.
