Great looking pair of knives. I really like the way the dark steel and buckeye go with each other. The bolsters look a lot like a type of meteorite I have seen. Definitely not your traditional looking bowie with your choice of handle and bolster materials. In this case I think it looks great. I enjoy seeing a maker get creative like this.
