Integral Bowies and Camp Knives

 
An integral knife is one where the handle is integral with the blade material.  Whether full tang or hidden tang, integrals flow from handle to blade and back again seamlessly.  They are more elemental and therefore more elegant for the simplicity.  They are harder to make, but the work is worth the payoff.
