This Bowie was from 2015 I really mean it when I say that I wish folks understood how much labor goes into making a multi-bar Bowie. It's...........a lot. This was one of those. Once again, the photo says most of what needs to be said. The take-down steel hardware was hot-blued. That handle is waht I called "Cross-hatched" Walnut. (I wish I had some more of that!) The sheath was made at the customer's request of a sheath maker after purchase.
