Finished “Bowie”

[Kev]

This is my first attempt at a Bowie. I usually make much smaller knives. Also it was my first attempt at a sculpted handle. I have a large list of things to NOT do on subsequent builds, but overall I’m happy with the feel and balance of the knife. Aesthetics need help, and I failed a few design elements, but its a journey.

That is a beautiful Bowie!

Nice, very nice. I need to do more hidden tang knives. I think I will switch for a while. Thanks for inspiring...
