Well I'm finally feeling pretty good about my test knives. Finished up this morning on the final of six knives. Some of em you've seen already but here are some very unproffesional pictures for you to look at.
   
10"ish, 52100 Spearpoint Bowie, frame handle with NS & desert ironwood
   
9" 1084 Dirk, SS/Brass and buff horn
 
10" 1084, 416SS and Oosik
 
8" 1084, Frame handle NS clamshell guard & Blackwood
 
7"ish 5160, 416SS, Walrus ivory/Blackwood
 
5"ish 5160, 416SS, Mountain Mahogany
 
and the last one is my performance test knife.

Got another knife idea floating around in my brain and sketched out but not sure I can get it done in time. At any rate I think I'm covered now.

Thanks for looking!

Way to go, Doug.
I vote for the clamshell as well.
I'm gonna get my greasy hands all over those things......

Nice arsenal!  Love big scary looking fighter/bowies.  All of them are beautiful!

Doug mate, that Dirk is the epitome of elegance! I love it (It's not too ABS-ey either!)

Very very nice, Doug!!!

I really like that blackwood handled job, and the oosik as well, but they're all very nice.

Hope to see you during the weekend.
