Gentleman's Bowie

[antigoth24]

This project was one I had not intended on doing, but in between other projects over the last two days it came together. The blade I forged from a scrap off of a viking sword I am working on and the bronze and copper are also scraps from other projects, the handle is bocote. This blade is only about six inches long and slightly less then 1 1/4 inch wide, slender, and sharp; now, it just needs a good pair of pants before being a true "gentleman's" bowie. All comments are welcome and thank you for looking.

Very pretty, the lines in the bocote really match up well with the Damascus.

Very rich looking with nice attention to details! Great use of scraps...

A good reason to save "scraps"
