GDay Robert, I've been missing from these forums for a while. Good to see your work here. That is a sweet bowie. It is normal to see a full height grind on a bowie like this but you've carried this one off well. And it is very much in your style - beefy, indestructible hard-core tools ! Although I'd cringe at anyone whacking with this beauty ... I like the flow of the whole blade to handle. Nice guard too. Jason.
