Here are two fine blades from Adam and Haley DesRosiers....
Several weeks ago, someone started a thread on the "Ultimate Bowie" (or something like that)
Lots of advice/makers were offered and suggested..
..Bladeforum member "Lorien" put up a couple of links and the DesRosiers website was one of them...
...So I took a look, cruised the site and liked what I read and saw...
They had several blades "available" at the time I was looking and after several days of looking and thinking I made a call to them...spoke to Adam and decided on this MASSIVE bowie they call the "Denali"
It is 17 3/4" in OAL with a 12" blade forged of L6 steel 3/8" thick at the handle (African Blackwood) tapering down to approx. 1/8" at the very tip....
couple of additional features on this knife are a "peaked" spine and the swedge was polished to a 4000 grit finish..
Overall it is finished in what they refer to as "Adventure Grade" which leaves the forging marks and a lot of character....
Guard is 416 stainless....
The little blade is a prototype "naked" hunter/utility with a cord wrap of braided leader line...
...7 1/4" OAL at 3/16" thick and a 3" blade....
.it is made from 8670 steel and will work perfectly for me as a skinner/EDC knife..
Both blades came with excellent sheaths made by them....
Enough talk!!.........
Hope you enjoyed...I sure am...thanks for taking a look!

I was so stoked I just had to post, guess I didn't really read what you wrote first!
Not only that, but to help put food on the table of some really talented and well regarded people... well that's really what a lot of all this is about, isn't it?
