Here's my newest piece.Raised clip 5160 blade... a hair over 15 in. overall...Desert Ironwood handle, and stainless fittings w/paper micarta spacer. Thanks to my Dad for another fine sheath. I welcome your comments and critiques.
 
Hey Ben, it looks great! Awesome ironwood, cool little re-curve and nice looking profile! :D That handle looks nice and comfy too! Is this one of "the five"? :) Looking gooooood.....
 
Thanks Kyle, glad to hear from the master. This ain't one of The Five... just kind of a practice run. This will be at the Little Rock show if I can keep my hands on it that long... I may do one similar for the JS test.

Great looking knife Ben. Nice long clip gives it a great profile.

Russ, I just talked to Ben a little while ago and know he doesn't have access to a computer this evening. I know his email is sewardsteel@gmail.com.
He will get back to your email soon I am sure.

Beautiful knife.
I can't find a single thing that I don't like.
I get the feeling after seeing this knife and your Cocobolo Fighter there will be a lot of collectors wanting one of your knives.
Great lines and super clean work.
Thank You for posting the photos. I look forward to seeing what is next.
 
Y'all are just bein' uncommon nice to a feller...really, thanks for the input, I keep trying to improve. I've had Lin Rhea and Jerry Fisk critique this one, and I'm grateful for there help and encouragement.

Awesome knife!! Everything just looks right. What is it about you Arkansas knife makers, you keep turning out great knives. It must be something in the water!!
 
Good looking bowie, Ben! I really like the clip and your handle looks to have a comfortable contour. Keep up the good work. :thumbup:
