Most recent completion. It’s a labour of love. This is the biggest knife I’ve made to date.
My favourite steel, CPM 154 SS Bowie with spine file work, copper and red spacers with a brass guard and pin. Finished off with a Bocote palm swell handle and complete with custom hand made distressed Mexican Loop style sheath.

Finished a restoration project. I replaced the old leather handle with new leather handle complete with red blue and yellow fiber and copper spacers. ( this was my first attempt) the brass guard was replaced and I also cleaned up and sharpened the blade. (it was a real sight). Tidied it all up with a new custom sheath.
