The top one is by Bura, not sure what it's considered. It's kind of bowiesque or much like a Crow knife. The other is a beauty of Kumar Karda. Both have carved handles exquisitely done, the KK is a dragon.

I've seen pictures of blades with that profile that some claim is modeled after the original knife carried by Jim Bowie. That may or may not be true, but in any case the pictures are out there. I think some of the K-bar knives have that upswept clip point.
The handle, of course, is pure Bura.

It looks the same as the "Bura Bowie" that appears on page 28 of this PDF file, "The Missing Pages of the HI Catalog":

I do now! Guess I got lucky. I was watching but hadn't bid on the KK, kinda forgot about it. I checked it on eBay and it had 11 seconds left. I managed to get the bid in with exactly 1 second left on the clock. I actually got a message from eBay that stated it got away. But then I got an email I'd won and needed to pay. Very odd, I guess it was meant to be.
