I don't do many Bowies, what do yall think ????
 
Very nice - I like that a lot.
You dont see too many people doing bowies from thinner stock, which I think is too bad.
I like the bowie as a heavy working knife, but my main take on the bowie has always been as a fighter, and a friend and I have spent quite a bit of time discussing thin stock fighters, and I really think his ideas of thin stock bowies, 1/8" or under, have a lot of potential.
Nice to see some folks using the thinnger stock.
 
The stag looks great and I really like the way you did the guard. The blade shape is not a particular favorite of mine. I prefer a Sheffield or fighter style blade.
