    I don't have any similar to it right now (I design and build each knife as I make them, I dont do runs like some makers who do it for a living) but If you want contact me thru my site (I check it several times a day) and I can design one the exact way you want then build it.

    Was looking over your site and under the history of the Bowie knife you state that "Bowie made bowie knives popular in his famous "Sandbar Duel" in 1827" which is true. The part that I find interesting is that according to some historians, he didn't have his famous knife in that fight. He used a folding knife with about a 6" blade iirc. Some say his brother made the knife for him after the fight, others say he designed and had it made. Either way the "Bowie knife" came after the fight. Also, the "Sandbar Duel" is the only knife fight he had that can be documented. There's a great book called "Three Roads to the Alamo" which is a Biography of Bowie, Crockett, and Travis and the events in their lives that ended up with all three of them at the Alamo in 1836.

    I told you all of that to so I could say " I want one" ;) I'll be contacting you shortly
