I just happen to have a picture of these three together and thought about how different they are while being all clip point style blades. I thought it might be interesting to post.
From top to bottom:
Style: Hidden Tang Fixed blade, Linerlock Folder, Slipjoint Folder
Construction: Epoxied, Screwed, Peened
Steel: 5160, CPM154, 1095
Handles: Wood, G10, Micarta
Fittings: Mild steel, Titanium/SS steel, Brass
Carry: belt/sash, pocket clip, in-pocket

I have always really liked your folders. Seems I am not the only one judging by how quickly they sell.

But......I think it's your bowies that are going to make you famous.

Great looking knives, all of them.
 
I have always liked your Bowies, and that is still true. My "Baby Bowie" is a great knife, and your bigger ones have a nice "flow" and feel nice in my hand.

Could you use the shape of the grip on the Bowie on a folder? Even if more of the flat of the blade showed? Just asking.

So, any ideas from the book :-)

Thanks guys!

Dino, the book has lots of great looking classic bowies. I've gotten lots of ideas, just haven't made anything yet. For a linerlock, the handle can be any shape as long as the blade fits in it and it looks good.
 
They all look great. I believe the bowie on top is the one I held in Visalia. I love the way you transition your clips on the spine. The grinds are dead on and the fit and finish is flawless. Beautiful work.
 
Ray, as always fantastic work. The fixed blade is my favourite tho.
I will second Mike on what he said about you grinds, fit and finish, got to be seen and handled to be appreciated!!
