10 weeks and still not finished

I have been working on a Bowie Knife in the back ground sort of thing, when tempering a blade for instance I spend an hour or two on the bowie knife etc etc you get the story,

Well I finally believe my Journey from flat stock bar of 01 tool steel , to "that's not a Knife this is a knife" is almost at an end. 

I still have a fair bit of polishing to do and I am seriously considering doing the whole handle again, maybe Theyla Burl doesn't take a CA finish but either way I'm not 100% happy with the handle finish. The brass still needs buffing an I have to make a sheath but I believe its looking pretty damn fine even if I say so myself.

Note apologies for the pics, but that's a mirror finish and trying to keep my ugly mug out of the reflection was not impossible but did effect the final result.

I'm not really into big knives , so i had to go away and think about this one , and I've come to the conclusion , that it's a stunning knife 👍

Thanks for that, it really deserves a posh tooled leather sheath, I can make a plain one for it no problems but was just wondering.....?:whistling:

Her good self can do posh tooled leather work ,unfortunately, she can't do it quickly enough to make it profitable,  so she rarely does it.

That's awsome, I watched a bit of crocodile Dundee last night and have been Google the knives this evening. One could make its way into my collection one day.

We watched it a while back, they had cut out "that's not a knife" bleeding do gooders.

Some skills in that knife fella, 👏👏👏
