Nice looking Bowie! ::tu::
I recently ordered a Marbles Bowie from SMKW but I don't remember if it looks like that one. ::shrug::

The experience that oozes from this site must be rubbing off on me Garry, cuz I only had to glance at your bowie and I knew it was a Marble's build, even before I saw the tang stamp. Those hand guards are the most unusual I've seen, I like them a lot. Very cool knife buddy! 8)

No Dan, it is fitted into that V notch. The knife is in the larger slot behind it. Actually I'm not sure what occupied that slot originally; I added the tgny one.

It’s been over 24 hours I can’t edit this anymore. Sorry for the pain and agony. I felt that when I saw these, got obsessed with having them. Decided the only way was to sell off others from my collection to match the amount paid. I feel like I have too many knives and it makes sense to downsize and concentrate now on having higher quality and fewer knives, at least it does to me when I have hundreds of knives and have run out of space to display them all. Leaving knives in boxes and tubes is not enjoying them and I’m at that point. Maybe you should sell off some and buy some of these?

Nice Katanas Garry. That's the correct name isn't it?
Do you ever chop down targets like stickmen or scarecrows with them?

Yes, they are both Katanas. They don't really belong in this thread but I was feeling frisky. My favorite targets are filled 2 liter water bottles. Any serious Katana should easily cut through such a target. However, in many videos upon cutting the two halves of the bottles they are left with raggedy edges. My rims are always perfectly smooth and even. If a Katana can't do that then the sword is simply a decoration.

K7K, your facons are beautifully worked in silver. Obviously. I imagine these were used for fancy dress occasions. I can't visualize a gaucho riding across the pampas adorned with such elegant knives. But perhaps I'm wrong.

Glad you like them,T-Dog. I find them very difficult to photograph. For example, in the photo above the blades look dull tho in reality they are highly polished.
