Amber Stag Go-Mai Bowie 1

This bowie knife was forged out of a Weatherby .30-378 magnum stainless rifle barrel. A stainless steel tube was inserted into the chamber of the barrel and within that an O1 high carbon steel rod before forging. This created a very unique GoMai Damascus pattern with the stainless barrel forming the top of the blade followed by the silver stainless line waving through the middle and then the high carbon O1 steel forming the cutting edge of the blade with an RC hardness of 61-62. It was forged on the anvil to its final thickness of 3/16 inch leaving the original hammer marks and scale on the flats of the blade. The length of the blade is 7 inches and the blade’s overall length is 12 inches. The guard is comprised of stainless steel with brass and black Micarta spacers. The hidden tang is fastened with a solitary stainless pin. The  handle is made of Buffalo horn and an amber stag crown. Included with the blade is a custom leather sheath and a certificate of authenticity.
