Just a little fighter I finished up. Still working on the sheath before it goes to its new home. 7-3/8" blade 12" overall. Proud fit Desert ironwood with a 1/16" domed pin.
Feel free to comment / critique
Thanks for looking






 
Nice execution and I especially like your Damascus. From a design perspective , the ricasso looks a little too long to me and I prefer the width of the blade on a Bowie/Fighter to be wider than widest part of the handle. :thumbup:

Kevin, I have some things in the works to address the issue with the ricasso length. I also see what you are talking about with the handle width. Thanks for the honest critique.

Thanks Bing as I'm always a little hesitant when offering critique. I always try to offer it in a positive manner and it's appreciated when a knifemaker accepts it positively as you do.
