Here is a smallish Bowie that I just finished up. The blade is 5 1/2 inches of 5160. The fittings are forged 416 stainless and the wood is ironwood.

Absolutely fantastic as always. Can hardly wait to see the sheath you choose to house it! -Jim-
Thanks for posting LIn!
Lin I sure like the knife, I am working on one similar now. Are the pins stainless also. Would you care to share how you pean the heads on your pins?
There's a lot to like about that knife.
It sure would look good on a belt.
Thanks. :campfire:
The single pin is annealed, peened over, and polished and is made of Nickle/Silver. I like the N/S ability to tighten at the heads and if it is handled it ought to stay pretty bright.
Great looking knife Linn. Nice piece of ironwood too.
Beautiful work!
That's a nice looking 'little' knife.

Now that is a classy looking knife! Just the right size for a 'little man' like myself!
Really nice !
