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-

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.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

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.

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