FORGING A TEX-ish BOWIE (first attempt at a hidden tang)

went for a Texas style BOWIE but design was different after forging so it became this...thing idk it's a knife lol
but I flattened out a half inch piece of leaf spring, decided not to show since that part is kinda boring just stretching steel out.
the blade is just around 8 inches, and overall is around 13 inches, the handle is some oak I found while camping, and brass guard and pins
I have Instagram go follow me I'd you want more updates or just like knives

Нож классный, но подводы слишком широкие, надо было сведение потоньше сделать.
