Umm, Safarikid,
I hate to mention it, but what took a big bite out of the top-front of your blade? If steel-eating termites, what is going to stop a grizz from doing the same thing? Big Grin

Thats a Confederate Style Bowie...I like that loong clip point(sharpened)so IF/when I have to penetrate Mr.Grizz when he catchs up with me shocker,it will slide in his hide so much smoother thumb

CSA Bowie minus the D guard.

I like the clip design.

I like coffin handles better but that is a matter of style but I think the tapered handle alows a better grip and helps keep the knike in hand.

I have a big knife on order and cant wait to post pics wave

You going to hire some local kid to carry that critter for you??? I imagine it will get heavy enough to have you walking in circles. Its a neat looking knife but I can't imagine carrying a knife over a couple inches in blade length. YOu only use the tip for 99% of the time anyway.

Very nice indeed! I have a few large, fixed blades. No call for them, but then I really have no call for an "elephant gun" either, and it's not slowed me down.

That popcorn stag is well... Popping! nice. I like how the hollow grind does not come to halfway the height of the blade. The depth of the clip point is striking also.

What kind of steel is it, 1095 or a stainless flavor?

Sheath is really nice too! I can't begin to count the times I've seen a nice knife and been disappointed that the sheath didn't keep up with the work on the blade.

So is that knife intended for a 1 stab use?

Why not hide a 45 cal blank in the handle to launch the entire blade?

Great looking knife and interesting fabrication.

Now, with that thing on your belt, how do you sit down without a self inflected atomic wedgie?
