I posted some pictures of this one a few weeks ago showing the frame handle construction. I didn't like the way that frame felt in the hand so I rebuilt the frame and bolsters of the knife. Here is what I came up with and now she is finished. hope you like her 15" overall length stainless and 1018 bolsters, guard and frame Elephant Ivory scales ![[Linked Image]](http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s519/jcoffee1/ivoryfighter2001.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s519/jcoffee1/ivoryfighter2004.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s519/jcoffee1/ivoryfighter2002.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s519/jcoffee1/ivoryfighter3003.jpg)

Awesome looking knife Jim! Ole Jim Bowie himself would be mighty jealous!

Yep, agreed. I think it looks great. Frame is definitely better now than before. It takes a lot to "scrap" something that's already had a bunch of work put into it and start over. That's the sign of someone who cares about achieving optimum results.
