Big Bowie with ironwood

Here's one I was commissioned to make for a collector. It is pretty close to one that I made for a show a few months back with a few minor differences.

Specs:

Forged from 1084 steel
16" overall, 10 1/2" blade, .225" thick at the ricasso
False edge, not sharp
Heavily rounded spine and ricasso edge
Black carbon fiber collars
Blued and coined spacer
Desert Ironwood handle

Very nice looking knife John. Looks pike you could cut someone from ten feet away with that!

I particularly like the coined spacer collar combo.
