spsurfer 891 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Now that's a mighty knife!!! Looks like a very good grind! Now go for a soldered brass guard and some good stag for the handle and you have a first class frontier Bowie!!!! On a knife that size, I would go with a flat grind, nearly up to the spine, just leaving a very little rest of forging texture, now that looks sexy!!! Check out this one from Lurquin Regards Nicolas Edited March 24, 2020 by spsurfer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve done a few with the grind right up to the top but I like the half and half look .... this one I’m working on now will have a blacked half blade done with gun barrel blue .... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
