Hi Joe, I thought about which one of the Bowies that I found to be my Ease Of Carry favorite would be and like your beloved stag and brass forged c/steel Bowie mine is similar. Let me explain the EOC term. It refers to the right sized knife that is big enough to tote without bumping or snagging onto surfaces while you go about. This differs from CCW which isn't allowed here in Calif. by virtue of open carry for legitimate purposes. The Damascus Bowie shown in the pics fits my hand very nicely, balance is great, resulting in fantastic speed and agility. Notice how the blade is not so wide from spine to edge? Contrast that with the width of the spine at the guard and you begin to see how Bill's Knives can vary so in design/performance orientation. This knife is more like that which Bill would make for someone of my size in brass, stag and Damascus, so I have been fortunate indeed. Big thanks to JP for these threads he posts and to all Blade Forum Mbrs for your input! Mark, I fit 8 knives in last pic, don't see how to squeeze in everybody else! Thanks again, Bob F.
