Hi everyone.
Today I have here the copy of my older knife. I rarely make the very same knives but this time I made an exception. The client was very nice and I like this particular design so I agreed. It was somehow challenging to make it as similar as possible but I think I have succeeded
I wanted to finish this knife before the Christmas because I want to compete with it on John White Memorial - Best Bowie contest .. So if you want to support me please vote on 26th December ! Last year I wanted to nominate the previous knife but sadly there was the covid pause on the competition. I almost couldn't finish it before the date, because I was babysitting last two months 
But afternoon, weekends and even night shifts saved the day So I hope you will like it , looking forward the contest and I wish everyone all the best for the incoming year !!! Stay save Petr
