Well dummy me thought I would take a chance on a guy and have Bowie made by a new young maker named Matthew Danitz. Took a couple of months to arrive and while it was thin with a higher degree of distal taper than I wanted he assured me it would hold up.
Well, an initial use on a poplar sapling and one day of cutting back some branches did it in. He initially offered a refund but, like a dummy, I asked him to make a replacement and even offered to pay for the supplies. After I sent the knife back he decided it was "misuse" and refused to do anything. I live, I learn... life goes on!

Grind it down for a short skinner
He has it now so I just have a sheath I bought to go with an 8.5" bowie :violin:
(I initially did not want it back but just sent a note requesting it... maybe I can grind it down and give it to a kid) Just a reminder that deals can be too good to be true
