Giraffe bone bowie
Hi everyone. This is one I just finished up.
A medium sized bowie style...oal 10 inches. Forged from 5160, triple edge quenched, triple tempered plus a final temper on the spine Handle is giraffe bone which I bought at a recent knife show. Great stuf to work with.The tang is tapered and has a white liner. Guard and pins are copper. Blade was etched. I am now using an 'edge pro' to sharpen my knives.......this is one very sharp knife. http://216.46.248.210/pixc/coutel/gi...ndle-bowie.jpg Thanks. Kevin ps..how do you post a picture that shows without linking it to a url?

You just put your URL between a set of image tags
[ IMG ]url[ /IMG ] I left spaces before and after the IMG in the tags in order to show this but don't put them in your post. __________________ Chuck Burrows Hand Crafted Leather & Frontier Knives dba Wild Rose Trading Co Durango, CO chuck@wrtcleather.com www.wrtcleather.com  The beautiful sheaths created for storing the knife elevate the knife one step higher.

Good-looking handle on that one Kevin. I'd like a closer look at that giraffe bone. The pattern of the pins is great.
More pictures! Roger

Thanks everyone.
Bob and Wild Rose.....when I copy the photo from my picture host I click on the IMG button then paste it...next time I will type (IMG) before and after the URL and see if that works. Thanks for your help. Roger, I like that pin pattern as well. I made this knife for a customer who saw a similiar knife I made but with black buffalo horn and brass. He wanted the same, then I showed him the giraffe slabs I had and went for that, he decided that copper would look better than brass. I really do like the giraffe bone. It looks like an old piece of oak. It works like hard woods....files and polishes great. I will try and get some more pics up. I have one more set of giraffe scales left which I hope to use on something special later.. Thanks again everyone. Kevin.
