Here is a new one I just finished up today, this one was a fun build that everything just went well on. I actually forged this blade at Dave Dellagardelle's shop last weekend and he was kind enough to give me the piece of wood that became the handle. He had gotten it from Andy Davis who told me is was a museum grade desert ironwood burl and it is a gorgeous piece! I decided to go very rustic on this knife, but I believe to do the rustic look properly it also has to be very clean and I think I was able to get that balance on this knife.


Specs:


Steel: 1084 hand forged
Blade: 8 1/2 inches long
Handle: 5 3/4 inches
Handle material: Museum grade desert ironwood burl
Guard: textured wrought iron and bronze
Sheath: Raw hide and veg tanned leather with brass rivets and copper concho


Please let me know what you think, all comments are welcome and thank you for looking.

Well done - and a great sheath to compliment the Bowie. I've always thought that Desert Ironwood looks so good on Bowies.
