I will post the HI 20" Custom Bowie when I get it also. Funtionally, the Ang is too heavy to be practical, but she is a beauty. I am so please that the handle is bigger around and the butt is quite big. A person could lose a hold on this one if swinging hard. Actually, it is usable, but for a strong person to use as a chopper. That is not what I wanted, I wanted something different, beautiful and showy. She is all of that. I think she needs a name, so how about a name for a big, beautiful, mostly useless kuk to impress friends. Perhaps she is like a trophy wife. Can we name her?
I think it best to check with Auntie for the cost on one of these rather than me say what I paid 3-4 months ago. It does take time to get them when Custom. I was quite concerned when there was an issue with the good Kamis, but I lucked out, or Auntie was taking good care of me. Now I am anqious to see what a 20 inch HI Bowie will look like and feel like with a 1/2+ inch spine. It is supposed to have a different handle from the usual one and more silver. I can't wait.

Mine is 18 1/2" by Vim Kami and looks like it will be dethroned shortly
Its half inch in the spine. Waiting anxiously to see yours! Im betting it will actually be more comfortable to use than you might think! Did Aunti give you a final weight on it yet?

No, I don't have a weight from her yet. I think it is about 4 lbs and 15 oz, so I will see what she says it is and will let you know here. It is longer than I ordered, so I am happy about that at 26 3/8 inches and the spine is at least 9/16" thick, so well over half an inch. I will ask her for final stats.
