Small Bowie

[Darrin Sanders]

I haven't posted anything lately because I've mostly been making plain vanilla stuff. It aint fun or fancy but hey, it pays the bills. Got an order for something a little more interesting so I thought I'd see what y'all think.
440C, Stag, 416 fittings, with a coined Bronze spacer. 6 1/8" tip to guard, 1.5" wide, 5/32" thick @ Ricasso with a nice taper, & 10 3/4" OAL. 400X hand rubbed finish on the blade and mortised handle with domed pins. Balances right at the guard/spacer junction. Light and quick in the hand.

Man, Darrin, that's a nice one! The finish looks flawless and I like the overall design. The coined spacer really sets it off. Expertly done, my friend.

 

[Dennis Morland]

I like it also. Beautiful knife.

Great Knife! and that coined spacer is really well done!

 

[Matt de Clercq]

Nice one Darrin. I like the spacer and handle shape.

 

[Darrin Sanders]

Thanks guys.

 

[Brad Lilly]

Very nice knife Darren. I like a clean looking knife

 

[Darrin Sanders]

Thanks Brad, I appreciate that.

 

[Raymond Richard]

Darrin, I agree with everyone else about this being a very clean knife although to me it needs a false edge to really finish it off.

 

[Darrin Sanders]

Thanks Mr. Richard. Its hard to see in the pic but it does have a swedge/false edge on the clip.

Thanks Mr. Richard. Its hard to see in the pic but it does have a swedge/false edge on the clip.

I certainly don't see it. When I had a knife with a false edge I always hand to adjust the lighting and take several photo's before I'd get the photo I was after.

That's a real beauty right there. Very nicely done Darren.
