Long clip bowie....agressive style

[balibalistic]

This knife is hands down my best yet!!



Blade: ATS-34 .160" Thick

Handles: 304 SS

Spacers: ATS-34 Hardened

Latch: ATS-34



Cutting edge of 3.75" with 4" blade.OAL is just a hair under 9". After a priceless tip from Charles Marlowe i've now found a much better way to countersink this steel..,i just might be able to afford to make more :) i used a very steep countersink which reduced the weight drastically.Knife weighs around 5.5 oz,about the same as the tiny one i made and (imo) the perfect weight.Also has IKBS and flips smooth with zero blade play!im gonna have a hard time parting with this one...,good thing i made two.other should be finished shortly.and goes to one of my forum pals who's been waiting forever for a bowie :)



I plan to make this a regular model,with different blade profiles.if theres interest.i perasonally really like this bowie though.

:devilzeekVery nice job

Great grind/blade design:madaddy:

[balibalistic]

Thanks everyone!!

Stabber: funny you say that! i never have a "set design". i literally make 'em as i go,blade wise.handles require some design but the blades are freestyle everytime :)

[General Specific]

I can't recall ever seeing a blade profile/grind like that. It is absolutely brilliant! Then again, I've been awed by every one I've seen from you. Even cooler that you didn't plan it!

Regards,

Dave

Looks like great work, and I have to admit would like to try one out too !:devilzeek

[Clydetz]

Very impressive and solid looking! I also love the blade shape & grind.

[2fulhundin]

really like the grind..and echoing from earlier really cool you did not plan..I guess those are what some call "happy accidents"

[knifepuppet]

This bali must be a solid killer, and the design looks clean and smooth. Definitely b..e...a..utiful :cheesydevil:
