Here is one I just finished up. I'm not sure if you can tell by the pictures but the blade gets wider towards the belly....sort of like the raider bowie style bowie knives. Its not a dramatic width taper, just enough to give it a little style. Ended up being 2" at the widest.

Steel: 5160
Green Linen Micarta Scales
1/4" Thick/15.5" OAL/10'' Hollow Ground Blade/ Unsharpened Swedge
Tapered Tang
Stainless Handle Pins
USMC Black Leather Handstitched Sheath

Price: $275.00 SoldShipped CONUS (if outside of CONUS, we can discuss shipping)

You can say I'll take it here in the thread, PM me or email me. All questions/comments welcome. Thanks. Garrett

It do have a sinister look, even though I don't make them I always liked the
look of big fighters. Looks good Garrett.

Right above the choil. Considering how much blade there is I thought it would end up being a little more front heavy but such is not the case. When I taper the tang, post heat treat, I try to get the balance just right for what I like in a blade this size so it isn't all just a luck thing. ;)
 
Can't believe this one's still here, guess everyone must be short of the readies in the US just like it is over here. If I had some spare cah I sure would have snapped it up. Beautiful knife you made there Garrett.
