Ziricote & W2 "BIG" Bowie

[Lamey]

Forged from W2 round bar (1-1/2" x 4"), Overall 17", blade is 11-3/4" L x 2-1/4" W x 3/8" thick at ricasso.  Convex edge, sharp cplip, "working" polish to show hamon.  Handle is Ziricote,  which ive only used a few times, it sure works nicely.

Another fine knife Matt.  You never disappoint.  I think you have those big knives "down pat"!  

[Lamey]

thanks fellas,  its a real handfull, but thats what the customer wanted.  I forged myself one today, a bit trimmed down from this beast though.

Is the guard stainless, Matt?

[Lamey]

hi Karl, no on this one the guard is mild steel, was going to blue it but decided to leave in the white for contrast.   Ive done a few in the white, and was worried about staining etc. but it doesnt seem to be a big problem with minimal maintanance.

Very nice Matt. I like everything about this one, as always with your knives.
