That is georgeous.....that blade is damn near perfect, IMHO. :thumbup:

Beautiful work, it won't last much longer. :)
 
:D
Damn, that is the nicest knife I have seen you post.
You have really done some nice work. :thumbup:
 
Just pure Ray on that one, like the BF crew has said before can recognize that Bowie as one of yours Ray regardless of label or not.

Another very nice piece of knife :thumbup:
 
Ray, Wonderful to see your trying some new woods. This is another great piece of art by you. Keep up the great work. I'm watching. Rodney
 
Thanks everyone for the comments. The wood was given to me by an aunt who went to the Phillipines.. I asked her to bring me some kamagong but she said that it's now a protected species and no longer available so she brought me this molave which they use in blade handles, fighting sticks and a lot of the old household furniture. It's a nice burly wood with some open grain that you can't see in the pictures but it's in the darker areas near the guard. I think it looks good and adds character to the knife.

I just finished the sheath yesterday and wanted to add a picture of it here...Thanks again!

Got that keeper-strap up top where it should be, too :thumbup:

Super nice work as always, Ray.
