Title: Shrew Bowie?
Post by: Ron LaClair on October 29, 2009, 12:01:00 PM

For lack of a better name we'll call this one the "Shrew Bowie". I'm thinking of offering a big knife as a companion piece to the Shrew hawk. We've got another design in mind also that I'll have later on. This one has a 10" blade forged from a buggy spring, 14.5" OA. Moose horn slabs...A real hunk of a knife...   :eek:

Very impressive! It would fit in any well equiped camp or be a great carry along. By the way, buggy springs are much sought after for blade steel. Lin

If you have that, you don't need a hawk!

Hey Ron,
 I was working on something like that for the hawk and knife trails at Rondy.Too pretty to throw,but I'd get over it.

I would say that with the steel tang extending past the scales and overall antiqued / rustic look it would work great as a throwing knife.  That of course depends on the balance.

Ron,

Is that a convex or flat grind on the blade?  How far up the blade does the bevel come?
