The handle is held with epoxy if the tang is prepared correctly there's no way it will come off . Andy I did not have it finished in time for the meeting..Thanks Steve

Steve, Great looking Bowie with a real clean execution on the guard and spacer. How do you create the grooved spacer behind the S guard.?

Thanks for all the comments. Tim the grove was made with files. I started with a triangle file to get the line, then went to a chain saw file, then sand all the marks out.That little tip was given to me from Andy Sharp ( sharpknives.com) at our last Guild meeting...Steve

You made good use of Andy's little tip.
