Hey Ken! I have the Gil Hibben "Old West Boot Knife"/brass hilt-guard, but I've been admiring the double-edged model, and was wondering how you would compare the two knives? Thanks, Mark!

The double edge boot knife has a slightly shorter blade, 6" compared to the 6 5/8" blade on the old west knife.
The handle on the double edge is the same length but a little slimmer than the old west model. The double edge seems to be lighter and more agile.
The fit and finish is excellent on both.

All gorgeous knives Garry,

specially the "coffin" shaped models!

Thanks Marco. The coffin-shaped handles are all reproductions of Bill Bagwell's fighting Bowies.

Throwing my Ka-Bar trilogy into the mix- a 1271 partially serrated, USMC and a new John Ek 44/Model 44.

Posted: **Sat Nov 14, 2020 11:45 am**

redrider, How does the Ek handle feel in your hand? Is it comfortable? I've never held one and often thought it looked awkward, Would be interested in your experience.

Nice FBs Garry!!!

Like those KaBars!!!

was made by Larry McEachern in Georgia. He did a great job on it.
