Yep, the tang is what worries me most. It's almost convinced me to get the handle redone, but I like the kraton a lot. And the stress risers that are formed by such a squared-off junction kinda worry me too. But, I've beat on it pretty hard, and so far, so good.

Some of you may have seen this before, but it's such a beaut I felt like it needed another go-around.

I saw that for the first time a few months ago and think it really finishes the knife. The stock TM's are NOT a tool I would really trust with my life; However, the modified TM = "you becha"

How about an old Western W49 bowie, pretty light and sharp! Oh yeah, and they look cool. ;-)
