I really like bowie style blades and would love to see a stiletto type knife with a bowie blade. I like your version above very much, especially with the guards, the only thing I would change is the bottom bolster, I think the knife would have a better appearance with a more traditional stiletto style bottom bolster.

Thanks for the suggestion, you do realize that I was trying to imitate a fixed blade primitive bowie, right?

I could do it any way you like, though. Another guy suggested a swingguard.

No, that was off the radar for a primitive style knife. However, that being said, it could certainly be designed as a swinger. What sort of guards would you like to see?
Right on.
Bat style, or rounded tips would probably be my personal preference :)
