It sure is nice to get to see this knife in more than one place. You can never get to much of a good thing.

Great looking Bowie! Very nice Guard and the overall package looks very light and quick. You should take that one to use in the Cutting Competition at the Bladesmith Symposium before sending it on to Ebbtide.

Nice Work!

Once I catch up from this last buying spree we will have to talk serious Bowies. You have been doing some great ones.

Do you do San Mai?

Bruce,
That's a NICE one!! I like the Ricasso wrap, it's a nice touch. The damascus pattern is very interresting also.
Ebbtide is a lucky individual

1st off...
Thank You Bruce! You do great work!
I cannot wait to get my hot little hands on it

I have to tell you guys (& Gals) Bruce is a heck of a nice guy to work with. He put up with my many e-mails and many 'rookie' questions without complaint.
This is my first 'ordered' custom so I was a bit nervouse/apprehensive...Bruce kept me calm & focused.
He was down on himself for it being delivered later than his ETA...
I think it was well worth the wait!
Don't you?
Ebbtide out (with a big smile)

Boy am I glad that you like this Bowie Ebbtide.It was another one of those that nothing wanted to go right while putting it together....Between grinding belts that were delayed 3 weeks,sick kids,stabbing myself in the hand with it,and everything else that could go wrong did....But I did get it finished for you...
Bruce
