Left to right, choiless Tusker, Buffalo Knife, Big Boar Tusker and Mountainman Bowie. That may be the last bowie I make. I hate doing hidden tangs. What a PITA.

Scott I bet doing hidden tangs is real different than the regular knives you do.

Yes they are. Getting everything to fit together, tang, handle, guard and pin hole is very tough. Grinding down the tang is a pain.

I really like that Tusker sans choil and the Buffalo knife. I don't recall seeing the Buffalo before. :thumbup:

I hear ya on those stick tangs. I know a certain forumite who has been waiting months for me to get off my butt and finish one.
