Frame handle bowie for the Boise show
Just got this one done. It'll be headed with me Thursday to the Boise show. I've always wanted to make a guardless bowie. This one is frame handle construction, though maybe a bit different than norm. This has 8 hardened steel hidden dowel pins holding it together. 6 from scale to scale through the frame and two from the "guard" through the collar and spacer into the end of the scales. Also epoxied and pinned through the tang.
Forged 1084 steel, clay quenched Just under 15" total, blade just shy of 10", .220" at the ricasso Heavily rounded spine and ricasso Black carbon fiber "guard" and spacer Mild steel collar, coin-edged and blued Silver twill g-10 scales Black g-10 frame, file-worked all the way around the handle Black carbon pins __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |

I really like the concept of using the G10 for the frame. A very nicely put together package.

Very cool.
Now I'm going to have to go figure out what "frame handle construction" entails. |
