    I like the bottom one as well. I think a brass guard, pins, and butt plate would really set it off depending on the handle material.

    maybe have the edge come all the way back to the handle, that would make it easier to shave material for feather sticks

    Knife like Matt Graham, almost check as I do not know what type he uses will need to do more research.

    Maybe a hybrid of the "pig sticker" and a traditional Bowie, but the game is young right now and I hope there will be more input.
    Matt Graham uses a "Condor knife & tool" Primitive Bush Knife.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    There is just one thing left to do, unless you guys want me to take it on a test run!!!!!! Put all the names in a hat and draw one out. If you guys want me to I could chop some 2 x 4 etc with it see how she runs. I whacked about an inch limb with in on the way from the shop and it just cleaved it clean...lol. Its killing me not to play with it.

    I ground the primary bevel down fairly thin, I decided to sharpen the 2nd bevel the edge at 25 degrees for heavy use, it will shave hair at that but its not as sharp as say 17-20 degrees that I normally do for hunting knives. Whom ever wins the knife can resharpen it at what ever angel he or she wishes.

    It's a beauty. I will be very proud to own it when you draw my name.

    Seriously though - extremely generous of you. Whoever wins it will be very happy.

    It is very generous of you! A lot of work went into the design, build and sheath.
    Thank you for sharing the process with us!

    I believe (pick crash) that's one of the finest knives (pick crash) I've ever seen (pick crash). Both the knife (pick crash) and the sheath (pick crash) are gorgeous (pick crash). You've made a (pick crash) very generous offer (pick crash). I need to get busy (pick crash) banning everyone now (pick crash).

    Well no need in putting this off any longer. I will say each of you had good odds as there were not that many names mostly the same guys posting over and over. I was rooting for Rick because he seamed to be the most excited...lol. Any way I put all the names in a can and had my 10 year old daughter pull one.....

    And the winner is.......Canid...congratulations Canid PM me your address and I will get it out next week. If you do not want it let me know and I will re-draw a new name. It was a fun game thanks for all who played!

    Wait, wait, wait. Foul!!! Someone has subverted my subliminal message. What I mean to say is....post 53 has been tampered with by someone. I've called for an investigation.

    Congrats, Canid. I'm glad you won it.
