One of my more recent bowies, and one of my best so far. I forged out some 1095 and L6 damascus into 1000 layers and added some copper and wrought iron for the guard area. For the handle, I framed it with some really excellent spalted fiddle maple and ebony, finished with a mozaic pin.

My fighter/bowie pattern. I grind these from 5160 steel and edge harden them. This one is mild steel fittings and stabilized spalted maple handle.

Another cable damascus blade. Copper fittings and a walnut handle.

A small hunter I've been doing lately. I started forging these from 5160 steel but have recently tried 52100, which I like. Brass and copper guard and textured ebony handle.
