Hi all
This is my first attempt to grind a Bowie knife and I thing it went very well...
5 mm 01Steel, Blade length 220mm, and 37mm at the widest point.
I've seen a lot of worse first attempts on a big blade like that. It looks like your plunge up to the spine is very consistent on both sides, good looking blade profile. Well done!
Thanks
Well I don’t have any plans for the handle yet; I have some other projects to finish first and after that I will find out watt Sal I do with this knife.

Ok here is an update for this little knife
I have heat tread the blade and hand rubbed to 180grid, I manage to fit the finger guard, and now I have to decide what handle material i'm going to use.
Regards
