Oh, man........that's why I went to Coop. My photo skills suck!!!!!! I'll try and drop by the shop in the morning and see if I can get a couple of half decent pics with the cruddy little Sony.....no promises as far as quality goes

Joe, those prices feel at least $250 shy - that's some great looking work!

Nah.........if I was famous and did fit and finish to the level of some of the maryland smiths like Jay hendrickson, Barney Barnes or Mark Sentz, then maybe. I am just going by what some dealers have told me a basic bowie should go for from someone in my position and ultimately, that is what this is.....a 10 inch bowie/fighter

I saw this piece at the Blade show. After reading Joe's post and asking price I'm fairly certain he was dropped on his head as a child.

I can say without hesitation that this is one of the best values I have seen on BF. I'd buy it, but I don't have any money .

That would go a long way in explaining the decidely anvil like shape of my cranium. I'll have to ask the folks about that

I'll take it with the paul long sheath!!:thumbup:Thanks,Stabber

 

[jdm61]

Woo Hoo!!!!!! SOLD, baby!!! I'll polish off the fingerprints and get it out to Paul this week.

Holy Crap!! (that being the good kind of "holy crap")
That is just great, especialy for the price.

 

[sharpeknives]

Joe that is great work. Beautiful!

 

[jdm61]

Thanks for the kind words, folks.:thumbup: I have been chatised by several makers because of the price...lol. The "new" price for a knife of this size listed on my website is a bit more, but not the $250 more than someone suggested....I wish
