Hey guys... here's another installation to the JoeyP project. This one in some killer Koa for our friend and one of my VERY long time supporters...Roger. Hope you like it my friend! :)

Thanks for checking it out guys. :)

Very nice Koa handle, really beautiful wood and what a blade profile! Great work :thumbup:
 
Just a first rate fighting bowie in every respect. LOVE the Koa Nick - can't wait to watch the light dance in that wood. It's not hard to understand why billf is absolutely mad for Koa when you see how much activity there is in a piece like this. Please send it to Paul for me when you're ready.
 
Incredible metalwork and my favorite wood. I've just got to go back a step and comment again on the basic concept. You and Mr Paranee have designed what, IMO, might be the epitome of fighting bowies. Lots of belly sweep, good point, wicked sharpened clip, distal taper and a handle that just won't let go. It a all just comes together perfectly. What a package! The fact that your work is so clean and the knife is so attractive follow quite naturally as great bonuses. You both must be very proud. Thanks for sharing.

That was our goal on this

To make a no compromise Fighting Bowie being beyond compare

This thing slices

It dices

It stabs

It chops

It back cuts

Heck it's better than a Ginsui :)

Thanks so much for the kind words

These pieces are destined to be sought after .......... With a vengeance

Nick is truly a talent beyond compare
