This one is a small vest pocket or gambler's bowie that I made for the MKA show in Missoula this weekend. It's only got a half guard so its unobtrusive but the guard is fullered all the way around and the agressive sculpting in the handle give it a really positive grip.

1080+ steel, clay quenched
11 3/4" overall, 6 3/4" blade
Sculpted handle of stabilized buckeye burl
416 stainless guard with black paper micarta and brass spacer
Stainless pin

Hope some of you can make it to the show. Stop and say hi if you do.

I think the handle could use another pin, but it's absolutely beautiful nonetheless. How's the sheath?
