Not to burst your bubble, but I ground of my swedge several months ago. Not totally unique (I'm sure i'm not the frst to do it either). I did fo a bit more rounding though, so mine is a bit more bowie like. Either way, its great to see more then "just the weehawk" out there. I like em, but not like those bowies. Emmmmm.....
 
what the hell is that..?!?! One of these days them damn dealers will just pull a stunt liek thast ebay guy and sell 2 inch bladed jaguars

I suspect what we have here is just an ordinary Jaguar (you can just make out the logo) with a weehawk blade. The contrast on the picture is cranked way to high and the light reflecting off the swedge blends into the white background.

It does make for an interesting looking profile, eh? But, I suspect that such a profile would be a bit impractical as that very fine point at the tip would quickly get damaged and the blade would be very weak near the tip.

Part of the design of the weehawk is to give the sort of stabbing performance that this knife might appear to have, but to do it without the weakness that this knife would have if it were as it appears.
