Havent posted in a while so I thouht I might show you one that I finished recently that I am kinds proud of. It is a monster Sub-hilt Bowie made fron a piece of feather damascus from Randy Haas and a Walrus Tusk Handle. The tang passes all the way through the handle and screws into the pommel. The knife has an overall length of 22 1/2" and the blade is 17". I have never built a knife using materials as expensive as these and I could hardly breathe while I was working on it. It was a custom order from a customer who has bought several knives from me. Hope you like

That Bowie should make Randy proud you used his feather Damascus - GREAT job all around. The fit around the sub hilt sure looks good.
