Holzinger258 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 1806 Loc: The Desert Southwest	I think the traditional Bowie top edge would be great--and how about a forward-curved hilt? (It looks pretty nice on my 12-9 with thuya burl in Border Patrol shape.) Attachments ------ _________________________ -Steve RKCC CM-066 RKS #258

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12867 Loc: Central Florida	Both of your Bowies are not the traditional grind Steve. It may add to the confusion as these are "both" #14 grinds. Notice the straight top edge? Standard Bowie grind shown below. Best, Capt.

I realize that, Captain--I've been stuck on stainless for a while, and that's why I think the traditional top edge would be perfect for this build. My only traditional-shaped top edge is on my Thorp: Attachments ------ _________________________ -Steve RKCC CM-066 RKS #258
