Brassback Bowie

Post by muskrat man »

Been a while since I posted here and thought I'd share my most recent work. 11" blade bowie 3/16" thick solid brass dovetailed spine with a hammered finish, beveled edges are mirror polished, handle is a touch over 5" smooth elk with 3/16" thick brass hardware. Went for a clean simple look with this one. Just need to add my mark and finish up the sheath for it.

Very nice work MM, I sure hope you have something between the knife and the asphalt though...

Very stylish. Simple is usually good. What kind of steel did you use?
