Stag Bowie/Fighter.
« on: January 26, 2013, 02:53:00 PM »

Matt, that is exceptional!  I like the guard and the stag is very pretty too with the light amber color!  The sheath is simple and attractive.  Beautiful blade shape.  Does it have a butt cap?

Thanks!  Steve,   yes it has a butt cap, a piece of 1/8" thick SS that is contoured/blended into the stag.... Unfortunately I didnt have time to get a bunch of pics, had to be in the mail today by noon.

Matt, that's very nice!! If I could afford to be a collector I would have several of your knives in my collection.  Thanks for showing it here.

I like the knife a lot. 5160 is a good steel for big knives like that. Very tough and still takes a good edge and holds it well.
