Bret Dowell Knives

Hopefully he can hold on to this one for longer than a week.

I like those red liners as well, and the rest ain't too shabby.

Vince, tell Scott to tape this one to his head so every time he looks in a mirror he will remember where it is. Works for me.

Bret, that knife just really stands out to me. :thumbup:

I've seen many Shadow Zulus and I'm just not that impressed with the way they look. Nothing wrong with them, I'd choose function over looks any day.

But I guess I would say most of them look just okay to me. This one however..... it looks great!

Maybe it's the liners, I don't know, but it really catches my eye.

Great work!

I have to agree that most of the modified wharncliffes and "zulus" are not quite as dramatic looking as a properly executed and swedged clip or spear...but they sure make a great using blade and can be pretty impressive looking in their own right (imho).

No offence meant, I just really like this knife.

 

[DOWELLKNIVES]

Thanks for the nice comments. I think this one came out at 3 1/4'' closed

He probably should've got orange G-10

If he does misplace. I bit he comes back for another.

That's a great looking little Zulu! Just the right size for the pocket, and the red liners sure make it pop.

 

[DOWELLKNIVES]

I know what your saying Brent.

I certainly didn't think you meant any, Brent...I was actually agreeing with your take.

 

[supratentorial]

One of my favorite patterns. Looks great in orange!

The mini Zulu is super cool!

Oh... I just re read your post Elliott. I was afraid that I came off as a Zulu Basher/Hater. :foot:

Again Bret you did a great job!

 

[JatMat]

Really a great knife and from what I understand, going to a great guy. Brett, Pm coming your way.

I could not take such a great picture in 100 years. The pictures belong to VCM3.
