Title: Walnut & 1084 "Carry" size Bowie
Post by: Lamey on September 16, 2012, 07:24:00 PM
Walnut & 1084 "Sunrise" Fighter,  7" blade,  12" overall,  forged from 1/4" 1084 with distil taper making it really lively in the hand.  Very nice size, concealable kind of fighter with thin & very keen edge, sharp clip.  Pretty little fighter but ready all business where it matters.

thanks all,  Chuck distal taper is the blade tapering at the spine from ricasso to tip.  Picture looking at the blade edge down, looking at the spine it would start at 1/4" thick and taper drastically but evenly to the tip.
