rehandled another bowie

[windwalker_au]

i have had this bowie for over 30 years so i rehandled it with the second antler crown i got from my buddy in the USA and a new gurd from track of the wolf,this blade is 7-1/2" and was made in japan and is high carbon and holds a realy good edge so i did a vinegar etch on the blade first one i have done with vinegar it turned out pretty good.

The handle and blade look really nice. Very nice job! I also like the sheath. Is it rawhide and did you make it? Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:
