Handle: Desesrt Ironwood

Kenny Rowe is work on the sheath which will be one of his pin locks with Crocodile inlay.

Beautiful looking bowie.I'm with Roger on this one,the fittings really add that extra touch of class.

Keith Montgomery · Jul 21, 2006

Looks great. I would love to get a better look at the spine.

lwrhea · Jul 21, 2006

I'm sorry that none of the photos show the spine exactly. I will post a larger version of the photo for larger screens. The spine is semi-radiused and the clip is straight.

I will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Lin

No need for me to type any comments of my own. This quote sums it up quite nicely. :thumbup:

Keith Montgomery · Jul 21, 2006

That's definitely one slick Lick bowie.

RWS · Jul 21, 2006

That's a good looking Bowie. Gorgeous knife!:thumbup:

Mike Robuck · Jul 21, 2006

Awesome knife, and a great author. McMurty is one of my favorite authors.

Mongo · Jul 22, 2006

Out of curiosity, was there a pic in the book of a similar knife, or did you just get inspired while reading?

C-Camerer · Jul 22, 2006

Great looking knife Lin!

lwrhea · Jul 22, 2006

Thanks guys. I appreciate the encouragement.

Mongo, I have liked most of McMurtry's books and this one was pretty good too. It did'nt have a specific knife in it, but the name and the photo on the sleeve just looked and sounded like a good one for a knife. It has a historical sound. Thanks, Lin
