A bowie is born.....
11 1/2" blade..... __________________ A good friend told me one time about forging "What is there not to like, you get to break all the rules you were told as a kid, don't play with that it is sharp, don't play with fire, and don't beat on that" Wade Holloway See some of my work. |

I would say so, George! Don't forget the false edge ...

I've decided to try grinding in the false edge/swedge after I get it heat-treated, theory being that should make it a little easier to get the entire blade up to the exact same temperature during austenizing without over-heating the tip. That's the theory, anyway....

No problem, that's exactly what I would do so be sure it comes out nice or we'll both look bad...

It's a 2000 s10, and I'll likely post a few more photos of it before I'm done...
It survived heat-treatment with not a single warp, false edge/swedge is ground/filed in, now she's in need of a day's worth of hand-sanding..... planning a frame handle for this one. __________________ A good friend told me one time about forging "What is there not to like, you get to break all the rules you were told as a kid, don't play with that it is sharp, don't play with fire, and don't beat on that" Wade Holloway See some of my work. |

Done, except for the sheath and an edge... almost 16 inches overall.

Finally have it finished. 440C with Axis. Sheath is inlaid with Longhorn hide. The level of craftsmanship I have seen so far is incredible. You guys are talented. Ray, thanks again for doing this so we can continue to challenge ourselves and improve our abilities.
