Finished up this little stag Bowie/Fighter for a customer in Baton Rouge. Forged from 5160, blade is 7-3/4" x 1-1/2" x 1/4" at spine, differentially heat treated, sharp clip, ready to go...

Matt, that is exceptional! I like the guard and the stag is very pretty too with the light amber color! The sheath is simple and attractive. Beautiful blade shape. Does it have a butt cap?

That is one of the best looking knives I have ever seen! Scary!!
Thanks! Steve, yes it has a butt cap, a piece of 1/8" thick SS that is contoured/blended into the stag.... Unfortunately I didnt have time to get a bunch of pics, had to be in the mail today by noon.
Wow!!! Beautiful knife!
Matt, that's very nice!! If I could afford to be a collector I would have several of your knives in my collection. Thanks for showing it here.

Beautiful work,really like the lines.
Oh yea, very nice :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
thanks again.... going to start doing some more Stag Bowies, been holding off as I only have about 15 piecs of good stag left, and finding stag now is near impossible. Sure wish we could import Sambar Stag again....
That knife looks like it was right out of the mountains. Really nice Matt.
wish i would have got some pics of the butt cap before shipping... but in a rush I forgot.
Nice one brother!
She really Pop's
:thumbsup:
I like the knife a lot. 5160 is a good steel for big knives like that. Very tough and still takes a good edge and holds it well.

going to be making me a bigger stag Bowie next week or so.
Nice!
