Last year I talked with Stephan Fowler about building me a large dagger to sort of match the 11" S guard Bowie he made me. I mentioned I'd like to have it for my birthday the end of march. Well his wife had a baby an other stuff came up but low and behold he came up with a 13" Confederate Bowie idea for me. We have been corresponding about details. It started out as a 1 1/4 rod of 1095 he put into a press. Now it is beaten into a 2" wide at the hilt 1/4" thick in the center awesome piece of work. He has put up some U tubes to show the steps:
