The 18.5" looks like a beast!
Pugs,
I love the knives and the sheaths. Great job.

Thank you Pagan, Semper FI!!!!
To help keep this thread going, here are two more HI blades.
The first is an unusual model, the Garuda Knife by Purna Kami. Overall length 18.5", weight 29 oz. It's quite a beefy blade with deep, wide fullers that keep the weight down despite a thick spine. Impeccably made, like all of Purna's work.
Next is a Ganga Ram Special from the collection of the late Bigbore577. This is a real monster at 21" OAL and 45.5 oz, but very well balanced so it doesn't feel too heavy in the hand for such a big blade. I'm almost certain it was made by Bura, though the kami mark is incomplete, as you can see in the last picture. The mark is a neatly done version of Bura's crescent, but without the sun and initials. There is no marking on the other side. The crescent and quality of construction spell Bura. Also, it has a very short "nipple of Kali," which is typical of many Bura blades. Anyway, here it is:

The Chit Bowie is at the top of my wish list. Beautiful handle on that one. Love the light color on the horn. Great sheath too! Perfect match with the knife and snake skin. Let me know if you ever get really sick of it!

Thank You, yeah it was fun making that one, lots of stitching and sore hands.
Yeah man, the handle I soaked in mineral oil for like three days, when I pulled it out the gray streaks came through, I was very happy. Had a few skins and that one matched pretty nicely. I will keep ya in mind if I get tired of it.
