Holy moly, Lin! That is the coolest looking knife I think I have ever seen. It's not the one I want to haul around on a hunting trip, but it would be the one that could be the centerpiece of any exhibition of what a great bladesmith can produce.

That Knife is a piece of Art. Outstanding Workmanship. The recipient is one lucky guy. I would normally say Wow, but it is way beyond that, I'll try, Amazing, Truly Amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely incredible in all respects.  That is not only a workhorse, but an heirloom-quality piece that will no doubt be passed down to future generations.  If I type any longer, I'm liable to drool all over my keyboard.     :thumbsup:    :clapper:

There's a lot in that knife that some might overlook- such as how the stag is so well fitted to the hardware it required almost no grinding/filing to adjust it to the guard is masterful!

I have admired this one several times, throughout the process. You know I am a sucker for a nice clam shell guard, this one is the best one I have ever laid eyes on.  I will be looking at this one repeatedly when I get the nerve to try it on my own.

Just wanted to update this with pictures of the sheath made by Paul Long. The pictures will speak for themselves, but Paul was outstanding to deal with, and even though he was loaded down with work from the ABS show he still had this sheath back in my hands 7 days after I mailed the knife to him. It was an absolute pleasure to do business with him.

Leather and gator skin, always the best way to dress a Bowie knife.

 
 
 

And Lin I’ve been like a seven year old with a new toy, anybody that comes around gets to see and hear all about my new knife whether they want to or not.
Thanks again bud.
