Yeah, not what I expected ( a honking ultra-wide bowie). But always a great feeling to get a nice piece of work from a mastersmith, like John Fitch. Congrats. Jason.
He made you another one THAT FAST??!! I really lked that one at SOS - one of those knives that you pick up and it immediately has a great feel. Love the look of it too. I also like the fact that it is something of a departure - design wise - from the majority of the knives we see from Big John. Real good score.
Big John is a knifemaking machine! I think his grinder is a 5 hp model, and he really leans into it. He could probably grind a bowie blade in a couple of minutes.
Dan Koster was talking about John's grinder when we met this spring. At the time I believe he was using a 3 HP motor, which he still stalled once in a while. I guess that's why he went to 5 HP..
Nice looking knife too, very clean and simple. I love the stag.
