Here's a neat bowie I finished not too long ago and thought I should send it to Coop for his quality work.

This knife was hand-forged from 1075.  It is 14 1/4" overall with a 9" blade.  The collar, guard, spacer and frame are all made from carbon fiber, which I think really fits the color theme of the knife perfectly and I deemed necessary to put the weight and balance of the blade where it should be as opposed to some sort of metal fittings.  There are two bronze accents and some twisted filework along the blade spine and frame.  The scales are beautiful feather figured black walnut.

The sheath is some stellar work from my good friend and sheath-maker Claude Scott.  And of course, the image, fantastic as always, is by Coop.  Thanks Jim!

As ever, beautifully finished and superbly executed work which is a pleasure to look at and would be an even greater pleasure to own.
