That's a great-looking bowie and a stunning piece of wood for the handle. What part of Canada does Mark hail from? Anyone have more pics of his work?

That is a real nice looking Bowie. I love the guard and butt too. Now does anyone have a link to a website for him? I have seen the name before and am not sure if I had not communicated with him but can't find anything in my favorites.
