Thanks for looking, and for your comments!
 
Awesome Bowies both....:cool:

If I had my druthers it'd be the big one....just because it's BIG! :D
 
These are both fantastic Phillip... killer steel, gorgeous handle material, and top notch fit&finish.

I noticed the big one was sold in the exchange for the price of a hunter... :eek: You're crazy!!! :eek: ;) LOL

Great work Phillip! :thumbup: :cool:
 
Phillip, both awesome knives, fit and finish excellent as always. I do like the Turkish twist pattern one of the nicest I've seen. The DI is first class too especially the burl on the big Bowie!!

Beautiful--that second Damascus pattern looks carved into the steel. Remarkable 3D effect.
 
Great works Phillip :thumbup:
And yes .. especially the 2nd one .. like it very much :)

mohd
 
Thanks for all the comments fellas, I appreciate them!

Except for you Nick. I may be stupid, but I'm not crazy. Er, wait, that came out wrong. ;-) Anyway, I wouldn't normally sell a bowie like that for that little, but there were mitigating circumstances. And, I wish I could sell hunters for that much. Though I haven't actually tried...
 
Well I'm very happy to say that the small Turkish twist Bowie will be joining my collection very soon. :D :D After seeing it posted on here I asked Phillip if he could make one just the same for me.
Imagine my glee when I got an email from Phillip saying the original buyer had backed out of the deal so did I want it. Having dealt with Phillip before I have to say he is a real Gent.
 
Congrats big Rick.

I received the large bowie a few days ago and it is even better in person than in the wonderful pictures.
