that is a gorgeous knife at a great price! Couple questions:
What does the knife weigh?
Is the swedge sharpened?
also what is your warranty?
thanks!
 
Fishface5,

Thanks for the comments.

What does the knife weigh? - I don't have a scale so I can't answer that.

Is the swedge sharpened? - The swedge is not sharpened.

also what is your warranty? - If you break it under normal use I will refund your money after it is returned. If you purchase it and don't like the knife you can return it as long as it is not damaged and I will refund you less my cost to ship it to you to begin with.

Hope that is helpful.

Lovely work Ken!!! If I didn't have to pay for one custom already this month I'd go for it.
 
I have never been a fan of "D-guard" handles....but you make this one really nice Ken. I absolutely love this knife. The guard is the perfect size, w/ the perfect contour. I really like this.
 
D-Guard bowies aren't really my cup of tea, but that is a really nice knife. The great price is just icing on the cake. Whoever picks this up is in for a treat.
 
ken,

that is one sweet bowie>


question, could the hand guard easily be swapped out for s guard?

thanks lw
 
I agree with the above comments, the guard looks great. Really nice maple burl too. Whole knife looks great!

The whole handle/guard setup is bonded together with JB-Weld, I was concerned that the copper threads would not withstand a lot tightening.

Thanks for asking,
Ken
 
What a beauty, pity that D guards are banned in the UK otherwise I woud have taken it!! Nice leatherwork too.
 
Can't believe this one's still here, Bargain too!! As I said I would have had it, but for the fact they are banned in the UK. I like it so much I've ordered one from Ken today with an S guard.
