My Bowie Project

Hey guys and gals, well this was my first attempt at making a Bowie. Used 01 steel for the blade, for the hand guard tried something that I never attempted before, Casted aluminium...and for the handle, a piece of white tail deer antler. I think that this int going to be my last bowie project!
Tips, comments, and criticism are all welcome!
Cheers

 

That's really cool. Did you sand cast the aluminum?

 

Thank you, yes I did...but thinking for the next one to use a two part molding rubber for casting metal.

 

Thank you
