A slightly different type of mid-sized bowie for me, one that I am really happy with and plan on making more of:thumbup: She's slightly blade heavy, and I made the contours of the handle a bit more subtle than normal to allow for a larger variety of comfortable grip postitions. This is the knife I'd want if I was stuck in one of those "one knife, lost in the desert" scenarios:D

Overall length: just over 12"
Blade Length: 7 3/8" tip-to-scales, 6 7/8" tip-to-plunge line
Steel: 3/16" thick 1075
Handles: Olive Green canvas Micarta over black liners, SS pins and thong hole
Grind: Full height convex to a medium-thin edge, with a convex secondary bevel
Finish: Imperfect (but getting better;)) 400 grit hand-satin
Sheath: Right hand pouch type, see pics in post below!

Asking $145(150) for this one, all fees and shipping in the US included. I take Paypal or USPS MOs. If you'd like it without a sheath, I'm more than willing to make a deal;)

Thanks,

Walter

Got a sheath finished up for this one, too! She's a very dark brown, right hand, mid-ride pouch style with a bit of tooling and a somewhat different belt loop:thumbup: I really like this size of knife, but carrying one when I'm in and out of a vehicle can be a PITA, so I had what I hope is a good idea:D A double snap on the belt loop so it can be put on and taken off without undoing your belt, plus an eyelet so if you don't feel the snaps are secure enough, you can run a length of cord or strip of leather around the front of the sheath to secure it so it can't come off:thumbup:

Let me know what you think!

Dude that Knife looks excellent! I would love to say I'll take it, but I just don't have the funds right now.

You better make more Walt!

Your sheath work has improved big time bro! Very nice package at a low price!
