but I am 6 foot tall.... Mr. Bagwell takes many measurements when he builds a custom blade and takes one's stature and build into account.
If I were doing this again,from scratch, I would have to try out several different lengths to see what worked best for me.
Lynn Thompson is shorter than me but totes a Laredo Bowie, easily.
I mostly carry my Laredo Bowie, I will be toting BJ Snow's blade more now that I have fixed the sheath.
