most makers have fantastic knives, and i don't comment on them for the most part, even though that doesn't mean i don't appreciate their work. this one, i can't hold back, sweet knife....

Thank you for the kind words.
Yes I am the maker and I have made large "full" flat grind bowies.
I tend to stay away from full grinds (spine to edge). I like a defined line
where the primory bevel begins. I think it adds to the overall look of the
blade and the resulting weight balances the knife out when using steel for
guard, bolsters, and pommel. I think it also results in a much stronger
"tool"when the time comes to depend on it. This is just my opinion (everyone
has one). I only make knives that appeal to me. I plan to keep each, right up
till I start on the next. In this way it stays fun for me.
When I stop enjoying it, I'll stop making them.
