Large Bowie in 1095 w/ Sambar Stag

This large Bowie was forged from 1095 steel. It is flat ground with a very nice distal taper and blade profile and features some decorative filing eye candy on the spine. The flat oblong shaped guard and pommel cap are constructed with nickel silver and the Damascus spacer adds a nice subtle touch of interest. The handle is constructed from a lightly colored smooth piece of Sambar Stag that really feels good in the hand and the butt cap has been shaped to match the contours of the stag handle with a 6 pointed centered finial boss. Hidden tang. 9 3/4 inch blade, 14 3/4 inches overall. 1095 steel. Forged.

This knife comes with a brown custom stamped leather belt sheath made by the maker.
