This is a thing of beauty. He isn't 30 yet, but one of Ben Seward's Bowies and/or Fighters has been a Top 5 finalist in the last few Bladeforums John S. White Best Bowie of the year competition, and he's won the top spot at many blade show awards. If you want to get on his books, the wait time is already 2 years.
The 1st pic below is from Ben's Instagram, immediately after he completed the knife; the hamon that he always manages to get is striking, unique, and instantly recognizable. The rest of the pics are of a different knife in the same walnut and W2 configuration, but with an even nicer sheath.
The blade is just 5.5 inches, with a magnificent piece of Walnut for the handle. The sheath is a waist-line parallel reverse-grip right-hand draw/left-hand cross-draw, of leather and alligator; the whole deal is new from Ben just a couple months ago. It's done nothing but look pretty in all that time.
Ben Seward's one of the most sought after bladesmith's around, and this is his most popular model, for obvious reasons. It has a profile that is all business, including a sharpened swedge; it's a super-compact and easily concealable fighter that can double as an EDC utility. It carries very comfortably, at least in the couple of times I tried it on.
The price is $1050.00, expedited shipping to anywhere in the US & Canada included. Interac Email Payment and Paypal Goods are the preferred methods of payment, and I'll cover the PP fees, obviously.
First 'I'll take it' - in the thread or private message - gets it; but for the sake of caution, I reserve the right to sell to whomever I please.
If you want more pics - of the spectacular sheath, handmade and hand-tooled from leather & gator, one of the nicest I've seen, by Ben's father - or of the knife itself - let me know. No pics do it justice, and my camera sucks.
I have a CAS fighter for sale as well as the Ben Seward:

As soon as one sells, I'll be pulling the other, so if you're interested, act now. Reasonable offers are welcome, but I'm not currently interested in any trades, unless it's a similar ABS/ABS-level Bowie/Fighter, with cash going my way. Thanks for looking.
