#12-JSM18  Jay Hendrickson hand forged bowie is a true work of art.  Sheath and handle are curly maple with different color stains, extensive and expertly done fine silver wire inlay, escutcheons and shell carvings.  Handle has twisted wire inlaid along the edges along with a flat cap that covers 5 sides.  Guard is pierced with a heart on both ends.  Sheath has a large frog knob and leather frog.  Frog is marked Hendrickson - MS - 1997 - 5160 (which is an excellent steel for knife forgings).  The maple makes this an extremely lightweight and comfortable knife to handle, in and out of the sheath.  Blade has an easily discernible hammon line.  Measures 15 7/8".

Original handle projects included in sale.  This very massive knife has some minor blade scuffing from liners.  Measures 10 1/4" overall and 1 3/8" thick!
