Hello everyone!

Here's a knife I'll have on my table at BLADE, come over and check it out. This is the biggest fighter I've done, it's massive! :D

This fighter has a 14 inch long blade and is forged from 1080 and 15N20 in a Mosaic Damascus. The handle is 5 1/2 inches long and that gives an overall length of 19 1/2 inches. The handle scales are premium interior mammoth ivory. The fittings are mild steel that have been inlayed with 18K green gold and have been gun-blued to give them a glossy black finish. There is a grooved bronze spacer at the front of the handle and the pommel nut is also bronze. The balance point is a little over 1/2 inch in front of the ricasso.

I'd like to thank my brother (Caleb) for the wonderful pics, he did really good on this one.

Let me know what you think and tell me if she's BIG enough for YOU! :) I spent so much time working on this one that it doesn't even seem big to me anymore until I look at something else that I would normally consider large like with a 10 inch blade and that makes it big again for me. Thanks for looking!

Marvelous, Kyle. "Best Bowie" is written all over this Beast.

I've got to see this one.
