Coffin Handle Bowie. It's finally finished. D2 steel, golden ebony handle. Since D2 is near stainless, the scale from heat treating is not too bad looking. I decided to keep it and just polish it up a tad instead of polishing it off. Looks kind of like color case hardening.

This is for a friend in Oklahoma. College buddy actually! I promised to make him one in the 1970s but quit knifemaking before I could get to it.
