William that is a fantastic piece! Love the guard / butt cap combo. You really outdid yourself on that one.

Thanks guys. I was thinking about using that same gaurd and grooved spacer on future bowies and fighters. Its basicatlly the same as the gaurd on the Elk Fighter. What do you folks think?

I really like those other two you posted, but I've seen similar knives from other makers. The thing I like so much about the first knife pictured on this thread is that it really has its own thing going with the square fluted ferrule. Also, most of the bowies I've seen with really long clips/swedges like that have much longer blades. This one would grab my attention at a table for sure.

Nice work, on all of 'em!
