One of my favorites is a Bowie I had made for me last summer by Ernie Grospitch. It is on his site www.erniesknives.com mine is the second "Kansas Bowie". Curly maple handle and my initials RW on the handle also. Ernie can work with you on any design you want and does fine work. Have also sent him my favorite drop point skinner to make a duplicate of, but with his craftsmanship. Gonna have him put curly maple handle and my initials on the handle and sheath. It should be done in another week or so. It should also be posted on his site, I'll let you all know when it's finished. Also have a Gerber boot knife my folks gave me in 1979 for Christmas. I cherish that ole knife. My daily carry knife is a Case that I've carried for many years.
