Well, I am not going to lie. I sure love it!

Only thing I might request different if I was ordering one would be the top guard to be trimmed back. I don't tend to get into many knife fights, so on my choppers I like little or no top guard.

It looks great with this knife, don't get me wrong. Just a personal use thing.
 
Yeah, I would have trimmed it back some, because it would be more comfortable when choking up to the choil. But this is the design the customer liked, so that's how it worked out. It's still good, though, and doesn't really get in the way. It's all personal.

+1 on the top guard. Also would like to see three pins through the handle. Not sure why, but still. Just curious but what would one of these run me?
Christmas is right around the corner! :)
 
I'm charging the customer $170 for this one, and it will include a simple sheath. But I've decided that I'm not going to do custom orders for awhile, just make a list of people who want something, and what they want, then when i make something similar, I contact the first person on the list and see if they want it. With my welding classes, hopefully soon a job, and the farm, I can't be taking on deadlines right now, I did this one because the customer was a friend.


So yeah, let me know if you want to be put onto the list for anything, I can "decide" to do do another similar bowie sooner rather than later.
