Comments
Steel Teeth : This blade and it's brother, C023, were forged from 52100 (I thought O1 was hard on the power hammer and my arm!). Both grips are cocobolo. The clip point bowie has brass fittings and the non-clip point has nickel-silver/copper mokume fittings. Both tangs are ~5/8" wide tapering to 1/4" over a 4" run. The clip point pommel is secured by bolting to the tang while the mokume pommel is secured by a pin (w sheath). They were differentially hardened using the Japanese clay coat technique resulting in.45-50 RC at the spine and, 55-60 RC at the edge.
