Is that stonewash with Tan canvas
 
I can now see what ppl are saying about the handle being short , it’s to short for my taste with the blade size and width .. Can’t post pics from my iPhone to show comparisons for some reason (don’t kno how too)?!?!📲

but SHOCKED 😳 it’s smaller than the Nano handle on my Camp Mistress !!

but it is a true style Bowie (older classic Bowie variant imo) not bad at all but not what I was expecting from the drawing ..

I am concerned 🫣with now the handle on my TGS ⚔️ coming soon..

(Was matching the TGS 🗡️ with this knife but I changed the handle to green instead of Tan…I’m kinda digging the Tan /Stonewash now smh
Kinda…
 
Handle length seems good to me, but sorry to hear it wasn’t what you were hoping for.

Camp Mistress is more of a swinger🥳… Forefather is less so, for sure (by design). I could see Forefather (handle) being able to perform well for hand at head-high arm swings (1/2 to 3/4 chop range)… but not super at hand above your ear (full swing) chop.

Not complaining but not what I expected from the computer generated outline pic .. The guard does take away some of the grips length ..but yes wrist cut delight forsure !
Yes it’s not a “swinger” unfortunately , I like totally grip control but lanyard will help this ..
I’m holding it til the TGS comes and then I’ll decide if she’s a keeper

Although I don't own any TGLB's and have no experience with the double talon hole guards, I would think that the ricasso would help in control in certain situations. I wish the grip was a half inch longer, but I think a lanyard will solve that issue. But I am nitpicking. Overall, I think this is one of the best bowie style designs to come out of Busse. Love it. This knife gives me the traditional Bowie look, while being closer to a useable spear point, so I am getting mistress usability with Bowie looks.

The craftsmanship is as always great , the blade itself I love, with filler added .. I have the 9.5 alpha regulator and love it ! Your bang on with the traditional Bowie look and the swedge is fine to me as well I consider it useable !!
