Firecreekforge.Com Forged Bowie Knife
For my latest hand forged blades visit www.firecreekforge.com This is a knife forged from spring steel. The guard and pommel are brass, with walnut scales and brass pins. The blade is 8.5" long, and 1/4" thick at the spine. It has a high flat grind. Included is a hand stitched leather sheath fitted to the knife. The knife pictured has sold, however I can make one very similar for you.

Fire Creek Forge (home of Elijah Williams Knives) provides quality, one of a kind custom made knives and metal items, hand made from scratch.
I have been making knives for about 20 years. I first got into it after reading a book on knife making at my library, and I taught myself from there, gleaning information from other books, and the web.
Building knives was a good match for another early interest of mine, the outdoors, woods, and back country. I love the idea of being able to walk into a trackless wilderness with only a good knife, and have the skills to live comfortably. I haven't quite reached that level, but I continue to study and practice these skills today, and it serves well to inform my blade design and construction.
I also began forging some years back, and I enjoy making useful and decorative items with the simple and old methods of working iron and steel.
