Thanks guys for all the positive comments.

Jerry, it was fantastic. It's a BIG Bowie at over 17" OAL and the considerable "D" guard but it's unbelievably light and fast.

Great Paul Long sheath, it great knife package.

I finally got to see this Bowie in the flesh. It's everything I thought it was and more. Congrats John and Kevin. I really enjoyed the interesting work in progress here.

I was fortunate enough to see this one both at the ABS show (almost completed) and again the completed piece at the Arkansas show. John simply makes some of the finest knives around and this is no exception. The steel is super cool, the accents highlighted by Joe Mason add just the right touch. This is another winning piece and I congratulate Kevin for adding a beautiful piece to his collection.

Jon

Kevin,

Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to work with you on this one.

Thanks also to Joe Mason, Paul Long, and now Chuck Ward.

Thanks to all who've followed the task here.
