Yeah it's a mini version. Handle is slightly shorter, quite a bit narrower and the blade is 20mm shorter. Thinner stock as well. Needs a reference for scale

@mickey duck, awesome effort mate.
thanks bud...means a lot coming from man of your talents...IF and when I manage to assemble bits to try again (this one was birthday gift and cost is about same as buying a custom) there are a few things I would do differently but this came out as I wanted from moment I had looked at semi formed bit of steel.....I own lots of functional slim,light knives.... this one will do the hard yards without fear of it breaking. the option was there to grind it differently in fact all options were on table,this fits what I said I wanted to do.the fit in my hands is unreal,I can see how the origonal bowie being made to fit end user made it so deadly.
now to go find a bit of venison to blood the thing properly.

I have been approached by a Facebook hunting group to donate a knife for their members to raffle with all proceeds going to Starship Hospital.
Something I feel very proud to be a part of and do something positive .
Mamba Model in 1084 , Madrone timber and Juma lime skin composite handles with G10 liners and pins.
Hopefully it raises a few bucks for a great cause and place.
A worthy cause...... And a top response.
Full Respect
I bought some knives in Sweden. CG m96 bayonet, CZ bayonet and a Puma " White Hunter" which is a knife I have long fancied. The Puma was produced before 1964 because it dosnt have a serial number on the guard.Its not seen much use either.

I have been commissioned to make a couple of kitchen names.
Firstly is a Nakari, stainless Damascus, G10 and purple/ white Arylic handles.
Boning/butchers knife inspired by the old classic timber handled knives the old boy used to use. Good old classic high carbon steel, with a stabilised swamp kauri handle. Cool piece of timber that is likely a few thousand years old.
