Here's a knife me and a buddy of mine recently did. He made the blade out of 1/4" A2. I finished the handle in shadetree glow tangerine. It's a tanto camp chopper that's a beast. Haven't put it to use yet.

Himalayan Imports dui chirra, and the ever-classic Estwing stacked leather hatchet (a gift from my dad in my boy scout years, and still kicking).

THIS is the big knife I've been looking for! I always seem to miss his sales on these though.
I seriously need one of these: as Sergio mentioned, they just always sell out before I catch the thread!
Behold the Condor Mini Duku Parang Machete. This beast is cheap, functional and tough as a rock. After thinning the edge to around 16dps, the 4.5mm 1075 does surprisingly well. The ergonomics are not too bad either. It is nowhere near as nice as a Fiddleback Machete, but for the money it is a great deal.

The parang is a super functional profile; condor makes great tools! I'm digging the reprofile, I bet it chops like a gem!
Beautiful setup Roger -- that custom shop Duke is something else!! Who makes the Bowie -- its gorgeous!
A few Fiddleback and W A Surls knives of 7" blade length and over. The Kershaw Camp 18 gets used a lot when I suspect I'll hit a stone or old nail. The Kershaw is actually the closest in size and shape to the local Filipino 'sundang' working knives - shame the handle is so uncomfortable for extended use.

John Fitch... I believe he stopped making knives around ~ 11/12 years ago.

The Duke is around to help judge with the scale of the bigger knives.
Here is a Mike Ruth Bowie:

Stellar collection Jules -- Some amazing pieces that no doubt get to see lots of work! What model is that above the camp? a Bison? Very cool knife either way!!
Beautiful group Gusbuster. A CPK is for sure one I would love and although I've never been drawn to Busse, a Battle Mistress looks fun!
