Riverboat History
The first Riverboat Gambler was designed in 1998, one hundred years after the Klondike gold rush of 1898. This was an exciting period in Canadian history which saw riverboats on the Klondike River transporting men and supplies to the gold fields. When this design was complete it reminded
me so much of that bit of history that it seemed natural to name the knife in honour of that period.
This little knife is a favourite of mine and has become my Signature piece.

Scans of the decorative sheaths can be sent to you by e-mail for your selection.
Generally they are dyed dark mahogany because it shows the pattern well and the dye does not rub off on your clothing. The black is OK but it does not look as rich as the mahogany, rather garish and the mahogany goes with every handle material.
Below is a general sheath without hand tooling but it will give you an idea of the style

Half Guarded Ironman
This new model fills a void
in the Bowie Line.
It's modeled after the Ironman but runs along the
size of the Riverboat.
The half guard helps cut the manufacturing cost while still providing a solid guard.
The physical heft of this knife has to be felt to be believed.
