New fighting bowie from the Flatwoods Forge

[Spots]

First I'd like to thank Broomhead for overnighting me the steel to get this done this weekend. We started with a 1.5" x 1/4" x 18" piece of 1084 stock. after shaping with a lot of forge work, sanding polishing, etc, we ended up with a long, light fighting bowie. Specs are 19 1/4" overall. 13.5" blade. 12.25" cutting edge. 1084 steel hidden tang blade. 5160 hand guard, Burmese Rosewood handles. Weight is 21 oz. Its fast and quick, and should be a good fighter. Without further ado, the pictures

My old man doing some beating, helping me shape it.

Two weekends worth of work, not to bad.
