I am posting this knife in the Behring main forum as I am probably not the only one who has some questions for the Behring mob out in Montana. I "think" this is referred to as a Southwest (or Southwestern) Bowie. I am 100% positive that I am "not" 100% positive about this model. I know one thing: It was my "biggest" take-away from this year's Blade show! I stashed a lot of stuff in my poke this year. I hope to get around to posting up some of it in the future.
In the meantime, I hope this'll do.
* 9+ inch blade
* Slight upswept blade shape
* Perfect brass single hilt with just enough on "top".
* Can't tell ya' how many spacers!
* Double-pinned crown stag handle!
* Tan, riveted Mosher sheath.
* Knife weighs right at 1 lb. 10 ounces. I can't tell you how well this knife fits my big mitt! Someone snapped a photo of Junior and I, warding one another off with a pair of these biggies. Great knife, great maker and great fun aquiring it. Hope you folks enjoy lookin' at it nearly as much as I enjoy owning it. (probably not)
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: For comparison I have included a photo of this big blade with one of my favorite Randall Model #5-5" knives alongside...CCS

This is actually an Old School Scagel influenced Camp knife- glad to see you enjoy owning it as much as we did making it

Thanks James:
I looked at the archives and each and every model on your fine website and the closest thing that resembled it (to me anyway) was the SW Bowie. Whatever it is...I't "serious".
Thanks, Capt. Chris
PS: You need to call me about another you have...CCS
