22.01.2022 Getting there.. @ Darwin, Northern Territory

22.01.2022 15" OAL, 10" Hollow Ground Clip Point Bowie in 7mm D2. Hardened and tempered to approx 60HRC. Blade features deep fullers to account for the weight and reduce it from the front and as are the hollow ground bevels, were done with a 10" wheel to reduce weight. Guard, bolster and pins are made of brass and scales are Australian Ringed Gidgee. Custom vegetable tanned leather sheath which has an antiqued look to it.

20.01.2022 Guard and bolster are pinned and piened. Can you see them? @ Darwin, Northern Territory

17.01.2022 Coffee etch worked a treat and reckon I’ll be doing that on all my damascus. 186 layer 1075,15N20 with stabilised Tassie Blackwood and brass guard/pin.

16.01.2022 And a new blade is born.
