This is my first attempt at a bowie, I've been really inspired by some of the amazing bowies I've seen lately.
The blade is 5160, with Nicholson file fittings, and elk antler handle. I did matching file work on the spine, pommel, and gaurd.
Oal is 17 1/2", and the blade is just shy of 12". It is a through tang peened over the pommel.
Thanks for looking!

If only Crocodile Dundee had seen that, I don't think he would have pulled his bowie out calling it a knife. That is one heck of a blade, I LIKE IT.

Ben, that is..... well, awesome!  I like your style!

I like the long clip and slim blade.

I forged a blade over the summer that looks very close to that profile, I got to get busy... you have inspired me!
