Just arrived today, Puma SGB Bowie with smooth white bone handles. So far I'm tickled with it.
I bought this as a user, meaning I fully intend to use this knife. Not sure for what, but it will be with me on whatever adventures I have this summer,

The pistol is a Pietta knock off of a 1851 Navy in 36 caliber. If I remember correctly it uses .375 balls.

If it isn’t too much trouble, could you post some photos of it and maybe give some dimensions?

That is the same type that I tried to emulate in my build and is my favorite style of Bowie by far. ::nod::

Here’s my attempt:
