In 37 years of collecting I think this is the finest hunter (maybe even could be a Bowie -- length and guard) I have witnessed. An outstanding job of matching the pattern of the blade to the wrist strap to the handle to the sheath. Breath taking indeed. Whoever owns this wonderful work of art hopefully fully realizes what a treasure he/she owns.

Wow! That is truly nice comment ! :) Thank you :) !

BTW : Are there any exact rules for naming the knifes in USA ?? I mean, what are the exact differences between so called Hunters, Fighters, Bowies and so ? I called it a hunter because the client originally wanted the big hunting knife :) I would call it the Bowie too , but wasnt sure about terminology, and there is always someone who is very strict about that and write ! this is not a Bowie !" :D (which is absolutely not this case :) )

Thanks again Petr
 
Beautiful knife! That damascus is incredible.
I like very much its organic look....the way the pattern rolls and intertwines makes it flow beyond the multibar welds and it looks like alive.
