13 1/2 Inch Walrus/W-2 Bowie in the Japanese Style -Photos Added

That thing is awesome! I agree that a sheath with some wood or maybe some elements of the blades desing materials would really complete the package. I would think one of these with a Kashiri would be pretty much the coolest blade on the planet. Wow. Thats really really cool.

I am pretty sure I have went over the limit on how many times you are able to look at one knife on BF. And I know I will be back for another . very well done John all the way around.
 
Here's a few photos added to this Pre-Blade thread.

Here's photo by PointSeven taken at Blade.

Here 'tis on a little stand made of antique heart pine cut before 1895, with a "square-toed" sheath- Cho-Musubi "Butterfly" Sageo knot.

John,

That is a beautiful fusion piece. The last picture showing the bowie taken down really displays your high level of artistry. Stunning.
 
Love it! Thanks for the follow up with the photos. I really like the square toed sheath and the stand..
 
I just love this knife, John. You did a wonderful job combining Eastern and Western influences to come up with this evolution. It's a truly inspired work of art and a formidable weapon. Great photo from PointSeven too.
 
Gorgeous knife John! And thanks for showing us the pro pic, but Buddy's snapshot of you and the blade is priceless.
 
John I know this is different for you but I would really like to see more stuff along these lines from you now I am not saying do not do the other stuff just do not let this be the last one like this we see . very very very cool
 
Thanks loads, guys, for all the encouragement.

Dave, I do have some things in mind, maybe after this next Dogbone...

John
