Here is my latest project, Potomac Forge South West Bowie 8" blade 12.5" OAL. Forged at the historic Moran Shop from a Farriers rasp. Fancy file worked guard, silver inlayed stained curly maple atypical coffin handle. I like coffin handles and thought I would put alittle curve in it for a change. Clay coated the blade to harden and vinegar etched to bring out the Hamon. Bass wood lined pouch sheath with scrimmed half moon antler embellishment.

I like that a lot Steve, one to be proud of for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Soooo nice!
That's a real looker, Steve. So many fine details, and the sheath really compliments the knife. I really love your style. Great work!
Smooth! I really like that handle. Hap
Steve,
Real nice job!
I like that one a lot. Great job on the sheath, never tried a lined one and that one is very clean. :thumbsup:
looks really good, I like the fancy file work on the finger guard. Nice package.

Thats a beauty Steve, the sheath is super clean as well!
Wow, great looking knife.
Really Nice Steve !
Your work is greatly improving :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Really like this one. Everything just seems to go together.
there is some very meticulous work in that one!
Beautiful work Steve. Very interesting twist (I mean curve) to that coffin handle and your silver wire work is subdued, but really highlights the wood.
Great job!
doesn't get any better than that!!
The coffin handle profile is tough to make so it looks good on ANY knife, and you did a good job on this one.
I think I'd hang that one on the wall.
