What does poker chips, birch burl, and a funky coin have in common?

They all go together to make a cool Bowie handle!!
This knife is still in the fitting stage, so it`s not coplete yet...just had to show you all!!

Wow! I see a huge fingerprint in the third picutre!!!

Cool knife though.

Very Nice. I like that alot. The coin on the butt of the handle is a neat idea, and looks like something pretty difficult to pull off.

Isn't it funny how the beautiful wood in that handle and the stuff they use to make the monstrosity we all know as dymond or pakkawood is one an the same thing ?

I know the burl is bound to look different but even the straight grain of a cheap gunstock looks hundreds of times better than dymondwood when its finished right

what the hell are they thinking ?

wow, cool deal, especially like the coin in the butt

Little Hen, Love your work.... what does a bowie like that go for and how long is the blade.

email me at Westicle@Awink.com if you like, really interested in buying a knife.

Awesome idea for the chips and the coin. That knife looks great just the way it sits, can't wait to see it done.

especially like the coin in the butt - OUCH!

That is really nice. Way cool knife!

Is the guard wrought iron?

Hey Ron! Is it true those poker chips are from Atlantic City & in the $20, $50 & $100 denominations?

Looks like you've been '...thinking outside the box, again!' The 'pushed-out' coin is looking better & better the more times I look at your pixs!

The handle is impressive but wouldn't 'shine' if it wasn't attached to that fantastic blade - very, very 'cool'!

That is wild.

Keith Montgomery · May 28, 2003

Looks great Ron. How long is that blade? I like the groove in the guard. That is a magnificent pommel aswell.

Very impressive & interesting! Like that Red, White & Blue. Don't forget to give the spec's. What's the date on that US coin?

LHKnives · May 29, 2003

WOW! thanks for all the great words guys!
The blade length on this one is roughly 10" to 10.5" total length I imagine will be about 15" to 16"
The Date on the coin is 1907
I`m not sure if those chips are from atlantic city Gary..you tell me!

Clydetz · May 29, 2003

I really doubt if the red, white & blue chips were ever anywhere near Atlantic City, Ron! My kind of gambling would involve black, chestnut & grey four-legged critters.

I've never been to the casinos in A.C., but I'll make a special trip if you need some 'special' ($1, $5 & $10) chips!

That is one very well thought out package and well-executed. The ideas just make it so much better again ! I guess this is a "Gambler's Bowie" then. The cliche / pun thing is too good to let up on.

Also, Whhdya mean not yet finished ???

Still drooling. Jason.
