Brutis.......

Raymond Richard · Jun 2, 2004

Not to sure what to call this one, its not that big of a knife but it looks like a brut to me.... The blade is W-2 and is 9 1/2" with a total length of 15". All the fitting on this one are from anchor chain wrought iron and the handle is kingwood. The bald head is extra......

I'd call it bloody marvellous .... but I don't think thats what you meant!

Your work has a very distinctive style, this piece is just fantastic.

Well, a 9 1/2" blade sure 'aint small. And the width of this one combined with the wicked curve and active hamon give this knife real presence. Nice bowie!

Very nice! I'm not a big kingwood fan, but I sure do like the knife.

Keith, I just got some new handle material yesterday. When I was doing this knife the kingwood was the only thing big enuff I had that would work.

Ray, I call it "stinkin gorgeous". Is the handle long enough to accommodate a large hand? Hard sometimes to tell the dimensions via photo.

Jeff, The handle is approximently 5 1/4". I've got a good sized hand and it fits very well....

Wow. That's a real beauty. The handle really suits it well, it all matches up perfectly.
