A bowie born from the ashes WIP
So this past week has been very frustrating and full of set backs. I have been working with W2 recently and this week I lost five blades to the quench which hasn't happened to me in years. :( One of the blades was a large harpoon point bowie, so I got back on the horse and made another one in the same profile. At this point the knife is all together but still needs some final adjustments before I make the sheath. This is my first knife of any kind to have a pattern welded guard and man was that a learning experience, but over all I am pleased with the lines and feel of the knife. I only had time for a quick photo today and it doesn't really showcase the hamon very well, but more photos are to come. Thanks for looking!
