Wow!

Not a single thing I don't love about it. Finish, the handle scale material, everything!

This is a well executed project all the way around. I really like it. The construction of the knife and the sheath , both not only show clearly, but highlight the rivets, the fittings, and hardening line. All straight forward and well done.

Absolutely beautiful piece - love the coffin style handle, the rustic look of the knife, and the sheath matches perfectly. I cant tell how many great knives are somewhat ruined by the afterthought sheath.

Is this a custom order for a customer? I see where you reference "for Michaels hip" - not sure who that reference is.

Hi, Toyz I'm the lucky guy who is getting Big Iron. I asked Jirka aka Turtle knives for a big Bowie and made me Big Iron This a Grail knife for me and Im blown away by his work and style I couldn't be happier this piece. I recommend him as custom maker he has great customer service and a great guy to talk too. Thank you again Jirka I can't wait for this to arrive.

Super cool in every respect. The initial photos are almost an optical illusion - you don't really "get" the size until you see it in hand. Awesome!!

 

[Turtle81]

Thank you all for comments! I do my best
Toyz: If you want bowie in this style, let me know
