This large hand forged bowie knife is made from a leaf spring out of a 63 Chevy pickup truck. The steel, 5160 is known for it's toughness and edge holding ability. Forged to shape then flat ground, this knife is a full 13 1/2" long with 8" of blade. The full tang is tapered from 1/4" at th blade to 1/8" at the butt. I have fileworked this knife in a nice southwestern lightning pattern from the tip of the blade to the bottom of the guard. The face of the guard is fileworked as well. The guard is a sandwich of Damascus and turquoise. The handle slabs are attached with 5/16" solid brass pins and glued with industrial epoxy. The spine is raised 1/8" on the front of the handle and tapers from the guard to flush at the butt. The flat ground blade is 2" wide and oil hardened. The blade is finished to 1500 grit satin finish and given a pewter gray finish. The hand stitched sheath has an antique steel band for strength, and is branded with a stylized lightning bolt. The blade is etched with my logo, making it a fine heavy use knife for the outdoorsman or collector.
