    Default Gentleman's Bowie

    This project was one I had not intended on doing, but in between other projects over the last two days it came together. The blade I forged from a scrap off of a viking sword I am working on and the bronze and copper are also scraps from other projects, the handle is bocote. This blade is only about six inches long and slightly less then 1 1/4 inch wide, slender, and sharp; now, it just needs a good pair of pants before being a true "gentleman's" bowie. All comments are welcome and thank you for looking.
