W2 & CocoBola Fighter/Bowie, 9-1/2" blade, 1/4" at ricasso, 14-1/2" overall. Handle is nicely figured Cocobola, real pretty stuff. Made this one real flat up at the guard so it will carry "easy" concealed. Convex edge, sharp clip, hand sanded 400 grit with working polish on hamon.

WOW.......
Very nice brother!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
love it!
thanks fellas, I made the handle a bit thinner then normal to make for easier carry etc. Feels real good too.
You make one heck of a knife, really like looking at your knives, Great job

I like the knife a lot, Matt, and the handle profile looks just about perfect to me. I prefer slimmer grips on just about any handle, even though I wear a size large glove.
Allan
yeah this one feels real good, just needs a new home!
heres a little better shot of the Coco bola-

Very beautiful Matt. I have a leaning toward thinner handled knives also. They tend to be more comfortable and easier to grip. If the handle is to thick I have to stop and re-grip if chopping. Your "working Hamons" look brilliant. Thanks for sharing. As always it didn't disappoint.
I am sure a new home is in the near future for this one. Who I their right mind wouldn't want one of your great knives.

Wish my Christmas budget was bigger. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Wow Matt that's fantastic!

sure thing, the hamon looked way better in person, couldnt get good pics of the action.
Pretty coco. What's the white spacer behind the guard? Micarta?
I made a couple low point "seaxy" bowies in the past, just not as purdy as yours. Nice stuff :thumbsup:
Darcy :)
Darcy, its actually SS, my camera skills are NOT good, hence everything kinda looking over exposed and or washed out. Its the same "silver" look as the guard.
I like doing the lower point Bowies, for me they "stick" a bit better.
Dang that's nice!!
Excellent work Matt. Really like the overall style and the hamon, and don't mind the thinner handle either. Great job.
thanks again fellas, the new owner really likes it a bunch too.
