Hi Rad, Wow the bowie looks like it could have been carried at the Alamo. Did your etch solution create what appears to be pitting? Nice file work as well. I've always wondered how period knives got that 19th century look. What cha going to use for the handle Ironwood Curly Maple? How many White Tail you reckin could be skinned out before you had to put the whet stone to it? If I didn't think I'd be committed I'd wear it as a EDC! Keep the pictures coming!
