Awesome as usual Nick. That's a pretty spectacular piece of cocobolo. Beautiful blade, hamon, handle..........everything.

 

[Dawkind]

Another exceptional example of a Fighting Bowie.....that hamon is killer!

Elbows and hands sore?

 

[Le Seb]

Another beauty Nick ! What a stunning hamon, congratulations on your work.

Killer buddy

Looking good. Mean and tough blade contrasted with beautiful wood handle.

 

[Bigfattyt]

Very nice. Is that spine beveled?

 

[Don Hanson III]

Mighty Nice Nick!

 

[Will Morrison]

Lean and mean... and CLEAN. I love the blade profile. The longer ricasso, and minimal 'drop' to the handle really suits this lean style.

You hit that out of the park mate. Love that all over ( as usual ) What are the specs?
Cheers Keith

Looks good! A classic Wheeler! :thumbup:

I really like the stretched out look of this one Nick. The copper spacers and that curvy handle really top it off for me. :thumbup:

You are the MAN!

Great colour and grain to the cocobola , and the rest of that knife elevates it another notch. Very nice.

Can't imagine what it must feel like to swing that thing around in the privacy of your own livingroom.

looks like it could make a nice pig sticker too

Very nice taper and hamon . It would look good in my bed side table.
