Oak Crossing Bowie
« on: May 25, 2016, 05:46:00 AM »
Here is one of my knives for the 2016 Blade Show held in Atlanta, Ga. It has a 12 inch blade of my laddered W pattern Damascus.

This Bowie is in the Southland series. I call it "Oak Crossing" reminiscent of many stream crossings in the South named for simple landmarks and often are the sites for historic skirmishes or battles.

The handle is dyed Sambar Stag from India.

The fittings are Damascus and stainless which are file textured on the acorns.

   

Thanks for looking.

Not to many people blessed with the ability to envision a piece like that and bring it to life with their own hands.

Extraordinary!
