I won this in an auction the other day for a very good price.I intended to trade this knife but once id handled it,shes a keeper..The original owner bought this as a custom from Svord..9 1/2 full convex L6 with micarta handles...beautiful balance and very sharp....I hope you all like it as much as i do........FES

Very nice, FES! :thumbup: Can you give us some details about the other knife also?

I absolutely luv her!. I believe the chap that modified/owned her previously is a BF member. I've seen this fine looking beast in here before!

What'd you give up for her if I may??.

 

[Humppa]

That´s a cool knife, Sir!

I really like both - great maker in NZ!

The other knife is a Svord Bowie Axe i bought in 1990..6mm thick L6...A beast of a knife..My first attempt at re-handling with some stag off the first red deer i shot....

FES, I like that one too... a lot of history in it. I don't have any knives from Svord and started shopping around. It looks like you did very well on that purchase!

recently got a svord peasant knife, orange plastic handle. looks great but havent used it yet.

Fes, not to change the subject of the post, but how often do you have red deer antlers for knife handles.........?

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

That's a nice big bowie! As a cool side fact it looks as though Svord has started lightly oiling he wood scales on their peasant knives instead of varnishing them. Makes me wonder if they'll start doing that with their wood-handled fixed blades too.

 

[Ospreybucks]

That is a beautiful knife! I do like Svord custom made although it is difficult to get it ship to UK.

Hey Friend. The Svord Bowie Axe caught my attention. Is it still produced stock by Svord? Thanks.

Buffalo....As far as i know the Bowie Axe was only produced for a few years.I would think the Von Tempsky bowie is as close as youll get from SVORD these days......FES
