916 bowie...pros and cons...

[jbmonkey]

I own a dozen or so bucks and was wandering around the website today and saw the custom build section and i never went below the 110 before, but i did today and saw the 916. Man it looks good even for the higher price.

So who has one and what do y'all like about it and what dont ya like. I google searched a bit and found some info but no complete list of pros and cons. One thing i saw often was a short small handle complaint? No sure that is true or not but i saw it mentioned a couple times from people who look like they use it rather than have it as a keepsake on the wall.

I assume its a knife that can be used, but seeing how it seems to be limited in where you can buy am i assuming more than it is?

Appreciate any feedback...thanks y'all.

Jb I have two of these knives ( older models ) that I picked up on the big auction site. I absolutely love the looks of this model. Mine are for looking at not for using but you could use them if you wanted to. The handle is a little slim but it is still usable. It's my understanding that these knives were made in limited numbers by the custom shop so they could have some collector value in the future. If you pull the plug and purchase one I don't think you will regret it . That's my 2 cents worth.

These are very nice Bowie's with that classic look. I agree with m r merrill that the handle is too small on this one.

Here is a photo of one I'm holding so you can see the handle size.
