I realy like bowie knives(though the only one I have ever had is probably the worst one ever made). I have been looking at some of your guys work, and there are some fantastic bowies. Some of my favorites have black coffin handles. Do any of you make or have some like this? Pleas post pics if you got them. Thanks!
 
i dont have any at the moment but i sure would like to make you one :) check out my web page and email me if you like what you see
 
Maybe some day. I realy want one. I just spent my $200 to buy an ESEE knife and a pack. I don't have a job at the moment, so there is no way I can do it now. If I get some work soon we can probably work somthing out.
 
Here's one Steve Dunn made for me about 5 years ago.

Sorry for the pics, they were the seller's, but I have a coffin.

From an obscure smith named Rodrigo. :D

I guess this is really a dog bone bowie, not a coffin handled bowie, but I think it might be appropriate. This knife is like a grail to me, I don't own it.

Thanks Rick and Jon.
Here's a couple more photos I did. The P7 photo shows the handle and engraving well but doesn't pick up the brilliance in the damascus. Also here's one that shows Steve's gold vine inlay in the spine. Actually believe this to be as good an example of Steve's engraving/gold inlay as you will fine.
