Just picked up this jumbo Gary Crowder 3 blade stag Sowbelly. This guys work never ceases to amaze me for the money.

This one is about 4.25" closed, 3 blades on a 2 backspring frame. The blades walk and talk like bank vaults and are as "beefy" as you'd probably want in a slipjoint, but thin enough to be good slicers.

This pattern has always layed in my hand just about perfectly, but I've never had one this size before. As of yet, I can't think of a more natural feeling knife to hold.

Here's some shots, thanks for looking! (sorry for the smudges on the bolsters, they are really mirror polished)

OMG!!! Be still my beating heart!! I LOVE that!! WOW, it is beautiful!! I positively LOVE the blade shapes, and those scales are gorgeous!! It looks like it would be soooooo comfy in your hand. CONGRATULATIONS!!! PS: Do you have a link to his website or anyhting? TIA!
 
Thanks guys!

SharpNJ, yes I just got this one off eBay - nice price huh? I was amazed when it ended...

TKC, Gary does not have a web presence but he's responsive to email and is very good at following custom requests. I've ordered direct from him several times and have always been satisified. I think you'd be suprised with his pricing and turn around times. email address is garysue@cwis.net

Shoot him one of these pictures, he may even have one ready to go.
