Hey Tom,

My son's knife is a standard #12-9 Sportsman, but with a fighter guard. He'd never give it up. You will see a lot of big knives still in use up here.

I patterned the knife after the knife on pages 198-199 of R.E. Hunt's book - Randall Military Models - Fighters, Bowies, and Full Tang Knives.

Cheers,
