Gentlemen:

For your consideration is this Short Bowie in W-2/Koa. The stabilized Exhibition Grade Koa has extreme tight curls and wonderful chatoyance - it has been hand rubbed to 2500 and the pores filled with TruOil finish - the handle is like glass. The hidden tang extends 3/4 of the way into the handle and is set with G/flex marine grade epoxy and a 1/16" diameter stainless pin. The spacers are copper and stainless - the copper spacer has been coined. The blade was hand rubbed to 1500 grit and etched to reveal a vivid hamon. This bowie is very comfortable in the hand and I hate to let this one go out of the shop. :) I hope you like it! The first I'll take it, PM, or email gets it. $500 delivered CONUS. Paypal preferred to tksteingass@frontier.com. This knife is also listed on my website. Thanks for viewing my work and your comments are welcome.

Wow ! Very classy knife indeed. Beautiful too.
Why is it a "Short Bowie" ? To me it looks like a Hunter. I would take it hunting.

KJ: Your point is well taken - I was considering calling it a hunter but the double guard pushed me over to name it a bowie. I usually reserve single guards for my hunters. :)
 
TK , Lovely knife. Handle is a bit different that "norm" but I bet it feels great in hand. Well done.
