Well, here she is :)
D2 steel, tubular pins for laynard lash points, Black G10/ white liner.
Not too shabby :)
The length on the recurve "Bump" is perfect for chopping and the handle shape is very controlable in its shape:thumbup:

you got one big dog! but you can lay 2 1/2 of your knives end to end on this one :) I didnt think I could pull something like this off when I was bugging you guys so much a few years ago.

I'd like to make me one too but I guess we both have to wait on that;)
 
That has to be the best of all your work, to date, hands down!
Beautifully proportioned and just down right slick!

Specks are on this knife in a previous threads titled Tusk. Search for Tusk and you'll find more info.

Thanks for looking.
 
SLAYER 2 HAS BEEN CUT...............that is all:thumbup:
 
Man, yer gittin' damn near too good.......;)

Really like that white liner/black Micarta combo and it is all clean, clean, clean!!!! :cool:
 
the one I cut out today is in 0-1 with a wider sweet spot......
 
well....I am going to make me another large camp knife and keep thinking of this pattern.

I made the front end a tad fatter and made this one 18" overall total.
Blade will be about 11 1/2" Stock thickness is 7/32"

What do you think? Can you picture it fully hardened 0-1 blade etched dark and patina'd with use??

B.L., you are making my kind of knives, big and beautiful! Man that is a fine looking knife!!! Cordura is my favorite sheath leather, too!
I'm getting the itch again and the bowies are calling me, lol!
 
Glad I can help L6! We told you it wont last.........get some patterns on the drawing board:thumbup:

P.S. - Thanks for the comments guys;)
 
That knife looks great, Brian, as does the whole "package". :thumbup:
