Take-down bowie w/ amboyna burl

[J. Doyle]

This is my last one for the year. A take-down bowie with some really cool (I think so anyway ) amboyna burl. This one I will probably take to a show in a few weeks.

Specs:
Forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched
13 1/4" overall, 8 1/2" blade, .220 thick at the ricasso
Guard, spacers and collars are carbon fiber
Handle is stabilized amboyna burl
Blued steel finial nut

All comments and discussion welcome.

That is a beautiful piece and that must be the nicest amboyna burl I have seen!

Wow great looking knife. That handle wood is unreal.

 

[Mike Martinez]

WOW! Would you take a literal arm and leg as payment for that bad boy?

 

[Mark Behnke]

I had to reread the specs, the carbon fiber fittings complement the handle very well.

Outstanding knife.

What a beautiful Bowie, John! The amobyna burl is insane and the CF is in perfect contrast to it. Well done.

Wow that is a work of art. And that burl is awsome

Not much I can add, just dead on. The carbon fiber is perfect with the amboyna burl.
