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.

Tel me what you think.

Thanks for looking!

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!
 
Looks good. What do you have planned for the handle?

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.

Wow!!!! Nice job! Hope my first Bowie's come out as nice:biggrin: Can't wait to see it finished with handle. What type of handle are you doing?
 
Thanks for the kind words guys! Much appreciated!

Ok here is an update for this little knife:D
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.
