A Bowie knife.

[Nektarios]

Hi all
This is my first attempt to make a Bowie knife and I thing it went very well...
5 mm 01Steel, Blade length 220mm, and 37mm at the widest point.
Tel me what you think.
Thanks for looking!

I have started to give shape to the handle; i decide to put a box elder burl and a stainless pin.

I have give shape to the handle and fit all the parts,
Well now i have to clean and polish the blade and pout everything back together and at last have to make a sheath for it.

This one looks like it's flecked with gold, so did your last project.
