W2 & Walrus Bowie

Hi Gang,
This is one I had a lot of fun with. The guard style and the Walrus are a first for me. The W-2 is of course is clayed. Blade is 7.50" long. Overall length 12.25" The hardware is from W's patten billit. I got the walrus @ the Boise knife show 2 years ago. I've been letting it acclimate since then. We have such dry humidity here in the high desert. I wanted to minimize shrinkage or cracking.

Nice Job Bing! Now get busy on a dagger and you'll have everything ready to test for that MS rating!

I'm really liking that bowie!

Thanks so much everyone for the compliments.

Ed & Doug, Not in the near future I will be pushing myself to more challenging type of guard/ handle styles.
