Hi all!

I thought you would like to see this recent addition to my collection, which came directly from the shop.

It's a Model #12-8" "Big Bear" Bowie with a single finger grip handle in shop supplied Rosewood and all nickel silver hardware. These photos don't do it justice.

Mr. Moose,

Your photos are Great! What a Sharp looking knife. :flame: Have to think about starting another "wish" list!

Kent

Thanks very much, Kent! :101

Cheers!

David

Beautiful, Beautiful!!

Very nice !!!

David

Great looking knife. As well excellent photographs. Do you use a light "tent"?

Will you be using this knife to kill mosquitoes in the next month or so. I know they get fairly large in your part of the world!!!

Fabio, Rob and Rod, thanks very much!

I really like it too!

I actually ordered this knife from the shop in January 2003! (Note this thread was started five years ago, and thanks you Fabio for bringing it back to the surface.) I received it in four years later and it is indeed a favourite if mine.

The Rosewood was shop supplied. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this knife no longer falls within today's five option limit.

I love the blade grind "Big Bear." At the 2005 Blade Show there was a fellow who only collected this model and had a display of over sixty "Big Bears", each with a different kind of exotic handle. Really spectacular!

Rod, you know our mosquitoes are quite large, but I think I will be able to handle them with just a "Little Bear"! :D

Cheers!

David

Hi Rod!

I forgot to answer your more serious question. No, I didn't use a "light" tent to take the photos, just natural light under a cloudy sky.

I actually used to own a "heavy" tent made of canvas and we took it on a camping trip to Florida in 1975, but that's another story. :D

Cheers!

David

Thanks David

The person who has all the Bear RMK still displays at Blade. Darn if I can remember his name.

I will try and take a couple of pics of his collection this year.

Rod,
I think the fellow that collects and displays the Big Bears is Jim Edwards from North Carolina. Tell him I said hi.

Great Big Bear!
