A Light & Fast Vest Bowie

[TK Steingass]

Greetings All:

I designed this vest bowie to be light and fast with a radical distal taper, hidden tang, rounded spine and deeply hollow ground blade. First bowie I've built with an heirloom fit at the coined spacer. Neutral balance is under the center of the double guard. All comments welcome.

V/R,

Since I haven't met TK, I'll say the knife.
But if Sky says so, I'm on board....
