It just occurred to me that I have beed delinquent in not posting up this pic of the lovely Russ Andrews bowie I picked up at the Chicago Show:

I'll post up the dimensions later from home, but it's about a 7" blade of W2 with some pretty blonde ironwood for the handle. Just painfully clean work from one end to the other.

Cheers,

Roger
 
Sorry Roger, but I could not resist posting mine also. :D

Hopefully, it will become one of Russ's standard designs. A truely great knife. :thumbup:

Once again, we each own half of what would make a pretty awesome matched set!

I am beginning to think that these 6 1/2 to 7 inch bladed bowies have about the most balanced look. That's a great looking knife.
 
Roger.
and
Peter,
You guys both suck!! :D

Congrats on both these examples,fit & finish look immaculate and
Coop's pics don't hurt. :cool:

Both beautiful.
Russ's knives are just soooo clean both from design and execution standpoints.
Don't see that blond ironwood very often; it's a nice change-up.
 
Thanks guys....
Yup, the 7" Hawthorne is a standard model now, and I'm
working on a larger one as well.
 
Tremendous bowies. Great design. Great maker. And, sounds like this one might grow!! All positive! :thumbup:

Beautiful Work!

Roger/Peter - send them both to me and I'll let you know which one I think is nicest;):D!

Gorgeous knife, Roger. And a great pic by Coop as well. Ever since I saw that photo of Peter's knife a few weeks back, I've been trying to pry it out of his hands. No such luck, so I broke down and placed an order with Russ today. It'll be a little while before I get it, but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

Threads like these sure cost me a lot of money. :( :D
 
Thanks very much for the comments, gents. Senator - very smart move with that order. ;)
