That's for sure Tom. You diffently have more rigging options with the #14 hilts drilled.

I really like the Thorp bowie--bought this older used one a number of years ago (think its vintage is 1970's). It was in fair shape, and I kept it that way, finally decided a couple of years ago to send it to Gary for refurbishing. The Shop did a great job; only thing is that the cleaning took all the black out of the 'Randall' stamp!

I've never been a fan of the large Bowies, but, Steve, that is one I would definitely like to have in my collection. Simply gorgeous.

Looks like a Pakkawood handle. Do you know what type of laminated wood that is?

Thanks, guys.

Sorry, Captain, I don't, but Gary also called it 'Pakkawood' when he sent me his quote for refurbishing.

Here's my latest 12-11 Smithsonian. This makes #4. I know it's an illness. A member of another forum knows I like them and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. It came with the custom sheath shown as well as the regular sheath. A nice addition to my small collection. My pictures definitely do not do it justice.

Steve,
That's a great looking Smith!
I don't own one (yet) but I think the concave shaped handle is the best looking on that big bowie.
