Lemme Phreak - D Guard Bowie build

Though that one is also awsome!

That's like one of his that I handled at Blade West that motivated this project. D guards never really spoke to me but his two piece type really sing.

I think my attempts at blacksmithing are helping learn some kind of natural flow, it kind of opens another train of thought.

I hope it's a loooong train ride John

Niiiiiiice!

In the works. Some electrical tape protecting the cap from mishits and tying the curls in place so nothing tries to shift during the peen and cure.

 

[Rupestris]

Peen it like you mean it, bruddah.

 

[Redmeadow Knives]

This should shape down nicely.

In the words of Yoda...

"Getting there, we are"


I peened it like I meaned it and kept that cap clean, no small task. Insanely difficult to photograph.

In the final stretch, if I can pull this off along with a nice sheath I'm considering sending it off to Coop to shoot.

I think that Coop should start polishing his lenses

I think it would be a disservice to the knife and the fine folks at Redmedows Knives not to have it Coop'd!

 

[Redmeadow Knives]

I think a shot that had an image of the peened tang and the curves from the back next to an overall shot of the knife would be cool.

I'm seeing a candidate for the Coolest Bowie of 2019 thread.

It is definitely coming along, having Coop shoot it is a good idea.

 

[Mack]

I agree. I see @SharpByCoop everywhere these days. His pics get attention.

I've been out of pocket for a bit lately, but what a way to return!!!

This is the result of what happens when you let an artist do his thing.
