Thanks guys. Knife should be 20” total. Blade should be around 13” long and 3” wide. Those are approximates because part of it is the look and feel so I gave him artistic freedom to do his thing within the basic parameters of 20” long overall.
 
Will do. I will also do a review of it in use, and a write up in the sheath when it gets made. He doesn’t do the sheaths so I’ll be sending it to Horsewright (member here) who said he will be able to make the sheath I want for it.
 
Was going to ask what kinds of pants it was going to have but if you have contacted Hoursewright to make they this is going to be a looker for sure!
 
Yes I agree. Horsewright does great sheaths and I’ve seen a lot of his bowie sheaths on the forums. He was really cool about it when I contacted him. I’m super excited to get this beast in hand and get some fancy pants made up.
 
Congrats!!!!’ I have been looking at customs lately myself. Sounds like you will have a serious piece of cutlery arriving very soon.

Oh so soon! Check out what I just got via e-mail from Freerk:

Your blade has been forged and tempered. Today.
I want to complete it next week if all goes well.

Now that is some good CS. That says a lot about Freerk, sounds like he appreciates his customers. He is keeping you informed on your order status and isn’t dragging his feet to finish things up. It’ll be there soon.

I'll tell you what hombre, if I like mine enough (which I bet I will), I am strongly considering getting a second. I think it's probably only a matter of time before he starts getting even more popular (he's gaining a lot of steam on social media) and we know how that goes. I mean the guy gave me a super awesome price and looks like it will be done in under 3 weeks. That's nuts.

Absolutely. He is the man. He has been a pleasure to communicate with and is very attentive. His English is perfect too. That's important for those of use who only speak English hahaha.

Nice. I wonder if he'll put some distal taper on it, or if he'll go straight up orc. :D
