Hey Tim, I've made a few bowies in my 40 years of knife making and a 10-inch blade and a 5-inch handle (15inch oal) makes for a nice bowie.

I think maybe go with a leaner blade profile where everything blends together real smooth. The current design you have looks a bit blocky, with an oversized blade and handle. 10”x1.5”/2” blade with a 5” handle would be good.

Thats so cool, as a Guy that has limited knowledge about blacksmithing but wanna get into knife and perhaps on the future sword making, this is so inspirational. I will probobly never have a fraction of your tools and machines and If i ever get some sort of press it will be a diy type thing so this sort of things are so out of reach but still so cool to see. Being a martial artist i liked how that last blade ”blank” with some different work and adaption and perhaps Wellington on a d guard would be a perfectly acceptable chinese wing chun butterfly knife.

My two favourite handle styles for a "Bowie" is the coffin style or the style Nick Wheeler used for his Bowie's, two things I would do to the knife tho love last version of it👍 but what I would do is loose the top guard so you can comfortably grip it up forward and I would make the gap between the blade and the guard large enough to get my pointing fingers in between there for the same reason and the knife would gain alot more usage, just some ideas bud ni matter what it ends up being I'm sure it's awesome ❤️

I admire your effort to try and make new tools that will help with creating new things in the shop. I guess that I would worry about how much time is spent on the tooling versus the return on the investment of time & materials. Regarding the design, I think that the blade is a bit to wide, as it is more like Kukri or Parang, but it depends on what people want I guess.

I do definitely prefer the 2nd design over the first. Honestly though, I'd get rid of the top blade guard and just have the bottom one on the handle. For a knife that large, I'd want my thumb up on top of the ridge, providing stability (unless it's getting used as a small hatchet)
