Well, whatever the process is that Carlton uses to get that finish on the blade, it sure looks good, almost like case hardening, as Carlton says in his write-up on one of the knives on your website. Dull gray would look good too, especially if losing the pretty mottled finish meant the owner had the opportunity to be out in the field using the knife enough to change its appearance. The older I get, the more I want to try to wear out my equipment before I wear out myself.

Ron,

Sooo awesome. I have a hankering for a big knife. I saw the companion thread that Izzy was refering too and I was wondering the same thing. I gotta have one of these things. I will put it through it's paces when I do. If I can get away with it, I will have that knife at my next deployment to the sand box. I'm sure the locols will love it. Looking forward to the sheath.

Art sent this picture this morning of the first sheath he made for the Bowie. He has the walnut handled model to use as a temp-let

Ron, you got a picture of the sheath?  That leather guy must be sitting on the knife point instead of whittling on leather.

It can be carried on the belt in the conventional way or carried high under the arm with the shoulder harness.
