Heres one just finished and photografed.
8.25" blade
416 stainless fitting
Ivory handle
This knife turned out pretty well still learning
about Ivory its not very forgiving LOL
The pics at the end are what the Ivory looked
like before I messed with it.I can't figure out why pics are blurry SORRY   (http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/coonpeter/IMG_1466-1.jpg)

The handle does look good Kevin, but the finish on your blade is gorgeous. That is one fine bowie knife. Lin
