My latest and most favored "big" knife" made for me by ML Knives, 8 9/16" blade, 14 3/4" over all length. Rawhide and braintan sheath. I named this one "Rib Tickler" :eek:

This is a close up of one of the ones in the group picture above. This knife is made from an ATS34 billet 3'X 2 1/2"X 1/4". Obviously I did not use the entire billet on the knife as I believe it was around 14" or i5" overall.

Rick Dumas made this knife from a John Lonewolf 3 bar damascus...he took 3 separate bars of damascus and welded them together, then had Wei Lonewolf scrimshaw the hawk onto an elk antler.

This knife is very light in the hand for being 15"

Really beautiful lines and "flow" on that one! What kind of wood is that handle?
