The Bowie knife my Dad made

My Dad has been working on a Bowie knife lately. The other week he finished it. I thought it'd be neat to post some pictures of it, show off some of his handiwork:

And here's the beginning of my own, the first one that I've worked on in a while:
It'll look a lot better once it's ground and polished. The handle isn't done yet either.

I might post more pics of what comes out of his shop sometime, including his Damascus steel and "railroad-spike" knives.

    I HAVE VIEWED A THOUSAND BEAUTIFUL BOWIE KNIVES. YOUR KNIVES ARE PLAIN BUT THEY LOOK VERY PROFESSIONAL. I LIKE THEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED JAMES BOWIE AND HIS KNIVES, SO I AM SURE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I HAVE. MY LAST PAPER IS TITLED "THE TRUE STORY OF JAMES BOWIE'S CLIP-POINT KNIFE. CWJACOBS1@JUNO.COM
