Big knives and Bowies? Show me

Wow, all fine works of art.

Here is the knife that this thread inspired.  I am by no means at the level you see above but it is my first forged big blade.  Blade was forged from a coil spring, guard is wrought and handle is a large piece of whitetail antler given to me be a friend.  Subsequently the friend got the whole knife with a sheath in return and actually had the opportunity to use it for a "Coup De Gras" on a buck his wife spined this season.  Thanks for all the help and inspiration.  By the way, I did clean it up a bit after these pics but the goal was a rustic "Mountain Man" type look.  Sheath has a pin for sliding it into your belt but I never got a pic of that.
