New Bowie/ Fighting knife

[jetzler]

Hello,
I haven't posted here much but I have been encouraged to do so.. So here goes.

This is a recently completed knife I seldom know how to title a knife but to me it is a cross between a Bowie,Fighter and camp knife.
Here are some specs
14 1/8 inch overall length
8 1/2 inch long flat ground hand rubbed blade with a thin but unsharpened false edge
2 1/2 inch wide/tall blade at its widest point
5160 steel triple tempered to rockwell 59
Weight 17 ounces
Full tang with skeletonized handle
Cocobolo handle scales with textured design
Both pins and thong tube are Stainless steel

I have a facebook page under "Etzler Customs" It has a lot of my past work and new pieces as I complete them. If you "Like" my page I would really appreciate it.

As always I am open to constructive criticism
Hope you like it
John

John,
A Bowie Fighter sounds like a great description.
Very nice looking knife, I like the overall profile of the blade with the recurve of the blase along with the shaping of the handle and texture on the sides looks great!
