Hand Forged Bowie Knife

in #steembay6 years ago (edited)

This Hand Forged Bowie Knife is up for auction! Made from a Nicholson file/rasp. I forged it into the general shape, careful not to lose the patterns on the file. Finished it off on the grinder and have given it a proper heat treat. This 5 3/8" long blade sits into a thick piece of antler making it 11" overall. The blade has been pinned into the handle with a mosaic pin with a polished brass finger guard in between. Nice and sharp, it does not come with a sheath. Buyer pays $20 shipping anywhere in the continental US. International shipping will have to rated.. I am a blacksmith & knife maker of 8yrs, and metal fabricator for 21yrs .

WOW this is a beauty...
Let me know, when you consider sending one of your crafts to EU, too!

I'd be happy to, provided you pay the shipping for it. I only put down the price of shipping for the US. I would have to get the rates for International shipping.

Wow, what a great knife!! Looks great!
I like the effect of the pattern from the rasp, what a neat idea...

Thank you sir, here in Texas, its almost a common type of knife to be found. There are a lot of farriers, and a whole lot of used rasps. This is the first one I've done, I prefer using new steel.
