Ironwood and 5160 Frame Handle Bowie

gables · April 26, 2013, 01:03:00 PM

This is my first frame handle bowie to build. The blade is 6" of forged 5160, 10.5" OA, with desert ironwood scales and stainless and copper fittings. I have been cranking out stainless stock removal orders lately but the challenges in this knife have kept me energized and challenged.

That's a classy blade.

I agree with Darcy. Classy describes it perfectly. A high falutin knife if I've ever seen one.

Many thanks for the kind words. This one was a new level of achievement in managing the 20 pieces.
