Title: First Bowie
Post by: Okie 1 on November 04, 2008, 10:23:00 PM

Well I guess I'm trying my hand at knife making. I have made some skinners from bandsaw blade and 1 from 01 tool steel. My brother has always liked bowie knives, and who doesn't, but he had a favorite one get stolen about 15 years ago along with all his guns. So I thought I'd try to replace it with a hand made one. I think it turned out ok. Not sure what the RH is but it seems hard enough. I hope he likes it.
Let me know what you think.
Here's a picture...
