Gentlemen:
The BF member that bought this bowie changed his mind and ordered the same bowie but in CPM 3V with stainless fittings and similar wood, so I'm putting this one back up for sale. The handle for this bowie is full tang construction in a pattern similar to one that was later abandoned by Mr. Loveless.....it's a very comfortable design with full purchase for your hand. The added strength that the full tang offers gives me the assurance that this bowie will serve you well either as a camp knife or chopper. The coke bottle handle is baby smooth with no hot spots that will develop from hard use. Vivid hamon with superb fit and finish. No sheath yet - the buyer may specify right or left hand. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it" gets it. $425 plus $15 shipping - international orders will require additional postage I'm sure. Paypal preferred to my account tksteingass@frontier.com and I'll accept USPS money orders. Maker's lifetime common sense warranty and free sharpening.
Best regards,
TK
