S-guard, frame-handle bowie...

[J. Doyle]

Here's a neat bowie I finished not too long ago and thought I should send it to Coop for his quality work.

This knife was hand-forged from 1075. It is 14 1/4" overall with a 9" blade. The collar, guard, spacer and frame are all made from carbon fiber, which I think really fits the color theme of the knife perfectly and I deemed necessary to put the weight and balance of the blade where it should be as opposed to some sort of metal fittings. There are two bronze accents and some twisted filework along the blade spine and frame. The scales are beautiful feather figured black walnut.

The sheath is some stellar work from my good friend and sheath-maker Claude Scott. And of course, the image, fantastic as always, is by Coop. Thanks Jim!

All comments and discussion are welcome.

a beautiful piece ... I love all the detail work through the spine all the way back through the handle ... looks great!

What type wood are the handle scales? They have a unique grain to them.

Wow, wow, wow. That is gorgeous.

The ferrule and guard work .... I can't stop staring! Also, wondering how in the world you put it all together.

The visual balance of the entire piece makes it look like it could float.
