Need a direction to think towards.

 

[Tokoloshe Safaris]

Do you ever sleep?

 

[Dr Ray]

Need a direction to think towards.

Thinking of a Bowie with a drop point

I don’t know the technical points but at the pointy end curves up to the main stem

 

[Dr Ray]

Need a direction to think towards.

A classic Bowie but not as big as the usual size
And
With a blood curve
Probably as clear as mud I know

 

[nztimb]

Blood curve, is that a fuller as on these Ka bars I made a while back. Made two so still have one on hand.

What sort of wood are they ??

 

[nztimb]

stacked leather as the originals were and with an ebony pommel

 

[nztimb]

@Dr Ray What length blade were you thinking

 

[Chukar]

Don't know what exactly what you are looking for @Dr Ray but you probably won't be disappointed with the K-bar..

I own #1 and while not "perfect" (mass made) it is a great knife and I treasure it.

@Von Gruff please put me down for another knife when you get more of the Cu-mai

 

[Red Leg]

Have you tried a pointed blade like the Ranger with the copper "temper" line?

You are going to be building Tanto's before long if we don't maintain a close watch.

 

[Dr Ray]

@Dr Ray What length blade were you thinking

2-3 inches

 

[Dr Ray]

And I’ll like the handle in. zebra wood with a backing of say black

Not as yet with just the two posted being the only ones in this style for now. Something to thunk about though.

May need some clarity on this Ray as a 2 or 3 inch blade is hardly a classic bowie

Make it work and you have a buyer. Just saying. Let me know.

I had a play with a piece of wire rope but had a cold shuts so hadnt had the forge hot enough but it stayed together to mark out what I though of as the basis for a traditional clip point bowie

And had a nice pair of antler pieces that I am going to use for a pair of knives based on the officers knife I made for a friend a while back who does civil war reenactment but where his has a straight handle with scales I will make this pair with the full antler on a stick tang handle but again with a guard and pommel in brass on the one and blued steel on the other

Ok I just wanted something different

So let’s work out a smaller version of the Bowie

I will order some in next week.
