I make these Bowies by hand forging it, no power hammer. Then I go through a strict heat-treating process. Which involves normalizing and thermal cycling to remove stresses, refines grain stricture for a stronger steel and a very fine edge.
Edge hardened by heating the blade until it becomes nonmagnetic, then quenched just the edge in oil, and then tempered. This results in a very hard edge and a durable blade. That holds an excellent edge that stays sharp for a long time.
Will be made from 1/4 thick 5160 High Carbon Spring Steel. You can pierce a car door and shave with it, will be razor sharp.The blade can be 10-12 inches and will have. Distal taper at the clip that results in a knife that is both lightweight and exhibits excellent edge geometry.
It has a very beefy solid feel to it and is virtually indestructible. The handle will be custom. It will have a blacksmith made look to it, and you defiantly can tell it's not factory made. A hand stitched custom sheath is included.It is made of high-quality vegetable tanned leather that was dyed and sealed. I take pride in making my knives and each one is handcrafted taking numerous hours to complete. Everyone is unique and one of a kind with minor imperfections inherently found on handmade items. I had the amazing experience of being on the TV show Forged In Fire on the History Channel. My episode was on Season 4, Episode 22.
I learned a lot from the experience and made some great new friend's as well.
