Only did a quick search for "Yuvraj Bowie". Found one with horn handle, 15-plus inches, and what sounds like ndogs with the wood handle. Maybe there were only these two made?

That would sure make it kind of special. Also make it a bunch harder for me to talk him out of it too. Have to take that into consideration.
I usually turn away whenever I see or hear the words "Rare One" but hard to turn away from this one. It's gosh durn pretty.

Specs:
Overall length -- 16''
Blade length--10"
Blade thickness at bolster--1/4"+ (.300")
Blade thickness at beginning of clip (bolster side)--1/4"+ (.260")
Blade thickness 1" from tip--1/4"- (.222")
Weight -- 18 oz
POB at just over an inch in front of guard.
Brass guard
Full tang with brass buttcap just short of 1/8" thick and filed around edges.
Im thinking there must be three of these 1) wood-17 7/8ths,19 oz., 26 wire wraps 2) mine at 16", 18 oz.,23 wire wraps, and 3) horn handle (specs?). The difference in the two wood ones are too far apart to be mistaken.
The sheath wood looks like the satisal we are used to seeing but super nicely figured and the handle may be a different kind of wood which could be the Rhododendron? It is darker than the sheath. There are twenty three wraps of wire around the handle and is one continuous piece of brass wire. One end is inserted into a hole and wrapped then terminated into another hole at the end of the wrap.
Sorry Bawanna! Gonna take a lot of talkin to pry this one from me

nobody loves bowies like Ndog , tedw, it found a home where it will be loved !! its never a happy time when collections need to be unloaded for various reasons, but it makes it much easier when you feel like your collections are going to people who will love and appreciate them rather than abuse and try to make a profit. My only regret is that he saw it first !

Ndog do love Bowies! Ill try soon to get a family shot of all of them together. I tried once already but as i was getting them all layed out my wife lets the dog inside all wet and slobbery and of course he decides to shake his big jawls and sloberates all over them? I felt like Tim Howard (world cup goalie) trying to keep him away from them. This dog has more lip than he does skin. So I have to wait for my wife to go shopping or something
