I just managed to get a wonderful R Hankins bowie from Ron LaBella today!!

THANKS RON!!
I am one happy camper today. I spent the day doing what I do to any new knife I get that means anything to me. Sharpen to my angle , polish metal with Flitz, polish wood with Butchers brand bowling alley wax, and leather treatment of colored polish followed by bowling alley wax.
It is now MY knife. The hours I spend doing these things make a bond between a new knife and me.

God I love this new bowie. Large but light. Very fast feeling for its size.
Here are a few shots of it with its brothers. I am sure you all will recognize the one from Ron.

Thanks guys,
loandr, Thanks!! I have wanted to get that specific bowie for a long time. Since I saw it for sale by R Hankins on BF. It is finally home for sure!
Peter Lezard, thanks, it takes me forever to get one shot good enough to post. My photographic skills are sort of lame.
