This one was well worth the wait! Blade is a little over 10" of forged W2 and is about 2" wide. Stainless double fighter style guard, with bronze and stainless spacers. Handle is beautiful African Blackwood. Top clip is not sharpened.
 
Pure class, Danbo ! Russ sure makes some sensational knives. Don't think your pic does it justice though ! ;) :D I'm gonna download this pic and see if I can tweak it with my computer for my own viewing and drooling pleasure later on !!! :p
 
This one is a heart-breaker. It breaks the hearts of those who don't have it! :)

Yes, my pics never do these knives justice. I only took this one in a hurry last night, because Joeshredd told me he would beat me up if I didn't. :D

I'll try to get some better pics taken in decent light soon. :)
 
Wow - what a beauty! That's as broad-bladed a design as I've ever seen from Russ. Very cool. Now go take some better pics will you? :rolleyes: (There's no pleasing the masses). This is making me hungry for my Andrews bowie in a big way. ;)

A fantastic piece - the blade profile is brilliant - What sort of weight is it? Looks like it would have a fair heft, but be well balanced - just how I like them!
 
This is no lightweight bowie. There is 5.5" of very dense African Blackwood on that handle alone. Figure in the spacers, and you have a handle big enough for almost anybody. It is blade heavy, but I can't see a bowie with this long and wide of a blade being anything otherwise. Put it in your hand, and you immediately wanna go chop something.
 
With a piece like that, I don't think you need to worry about any of us whalin' on ya! Accept to get BETTER pics!!! LOL!!! :D

Danbo, that is one very handsome knife!!! Great score! :)

I saw the beginnings of your knife, Roger. It looks just like a big rectangle bar of steel with a tang forged out on it. :p

Thanks for lunch and may we meet up again..........soon! :D

Russ is a "top 10" knifemaker in my book.

Danbo, you finally have a bowie I'd trade ya for... That is truly a knife worthy of being called a "Bowie"...
