Here is one I am just wrapping up (no pun intended). I had the urge to do one more BIG knife before the year was out and came up with this one. It ended up going together very quickly with only 25 hours in the whole project. But as always comments and criticism are welcome.


Thanks for looking!

Wow, I like everything about this knife, esp. the handle shape and blade profile.

The last image is very dramatic showing details of the Hamon.

I'm glad seeing more big knives from your workshop. They are great.
 
Thanks Steve and Giedymin, I'm glad I have finally gotten some of the clientele to allow me to enter into the big bowie arena. It's my main love at this point, well aside from my lovely wife of course ;)
