Ben Seward, JS ~ Checkered Camp Knife

Thanks, guys. I made this as a spec knife with what I would want in my personal camp knife...right down to the recurved clip 'cause ya never know when you might hafta back cut a grizzly out there;) I understand STeven's reasoning and if I would have ended up keeping it I would probably have put in a thong hole. Thanks for the kind words again. Caleb did an awesome job with the photo as usual. Maybe someday I will make a camp knife...
 
Camp knife, Bowie knife call it what you want. All I know it's a damn purdy knife. I want one if it means taking up camping. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
yes STeven -- it is a great looking Bowie. Wonderful knife leaving nothing to the imagination. Any collector would be proud to have it.
 
I'll jump in again to highlight the guard, maybe new from Ben. Very nice subtle curves (rather than sharp flares) and a nicely balanced "point", or whatever that's called. Elegant.
First did this style guard about a year ago. Recently I modified it with the faceted edges. This makes it easier on the sheath since it effectively takes the point off of the "chevron". It also allows a thicker more robust guard lug without looking bulky...besides I think the mirror polished facets look cool:cool:
