12.5" pattern welded bowie knife

[Fieldcrafter-uk]

My latest Damascus or pattern welded knife!!

Made 100% by myself, a one off creation.

It’s made of 120 layers of steel, forge welded together, steels used are 15n20 nickel steel and cs60 spring steel and it’s a high carbon blade with a fantastic temper.

The pattern is ladder pattern created by manipulating the steel as shown then flattening and drawing it out.




here achieving welding temprature in the gas forge building up enough heat to flatten and draw out .





here a short clip of thepower hammer used . i cant work he hammer on hot steel and film so just a clip that shows how contolable the hammer is , its a 42kg turkish air hammer .





Overall length is 12.5” with an 8” blade.

The handle is African black wood which is very dense and heavy; guard is brass and aluminium with a single brass pin.

No sheath on this one I’m afraid.

I would like £320 for it, that include postage which will be first class recorded (you need to sign for it)

I hope you like it?

It’s the last Bowie I’m doing for a while I want to try new styles

Mate I'm not a fan of Bowie s or Damascus but that looks ace.The wood and guard are top notch too.
Is the top of the blade sharpened? I thought that's what a Bowie was about.

If I could afford it and could spare it, the money would be yours. Lovely stuff.

Thank you gents !!
Bowie is just a term for what is now a stylised fighting knife .
It's a style that's open to each cutlers interpretation I think .
The false edge isn't live no .
It's a show piece really .
It's only the 3rd iv ever made .
Thanks again guys
