15'' Elk Crown Bowie

I remember now why these aren't my favorite but in the end I'm very happy with it......
15'' of 5160 , 4 test avg HRC 58-59
Copper guard with Black G10/ Spalted Burl and Copper spacers
Antlers' natural curvature and form makes this grip super comfortable to grip
5160 are proven work horses , would love to put this one through the ringer but it ships to a new home this afternoon so managed a couple quik pics

thanks for looking........

Nice job. Rather like the harpoon tip on it and the handle look great.

The squirrels are pretty vicious guards but I have it on good authority they can be bought off for peanuts ...

That's one sweet knife Rob!

The materials all work together well. I especially like the tiny copper strips alongside the wood. It's in the details. Sheath is super too.
