Bowie Knife

This is an 11 1/2" (~300mm) long bowie knife I made recently. It is my first attempt on this style so I tried to make it very simple. It was forged from a 1/4 thick flat spring (guess 5160), the guard is made of stainless steel (304) and the handle is Imbúia.





The sheath is from dyed leather and the texture was produced by a basket weave leather stamp I made for this project.


I also took a picture of the pieces before the assembly.
