Here's another one headed with me to Seattle. A small-ish gambler's hide-out bowie. This is slim and trim, light and fast in hand.

Hand forged from 1084

10 3/4" overall, 6" blade, .200" thick at the ricasso

Full distal taper, ending in a nice point

False edge, not sharp

Rounded spine and ricasso edge

Black g-10 fittings

Stabilized Amboyna burl handle, sculpted, carved and textured

Just a fun pic with some cool cards and some interesting, turn of the 20th century coins:
