Roger, aside from the overall beauty of his Bowie, Jacinto's checkering is world class. Does he do gunstocks as well?

I don't know, but I can only imagine that the results would be spectacular!

 

[RogerP]

Get those submissions in gents!

If entries slow to a trickle we will move to the selection of finalists some time tomorrow.

But I KNOW there are many more bowie out there deserving of nomination!

[SharpByCoop]

In the morning, I will go through my archives and post a BOATLOAD of fantastic Bowies, many from my Blade Show thread....

Unless someone beats me to them... (Hint hint! )

Thanks to those who have already done so. The MAKERS thank you!

[RogerP]

Thank you Coop for kick-starting the maker contributions. And thank you makers, for posting and more importantly, for making those awesome knives!

Ben - damn, dude - you did the bowie genre proud this year.

Salem - can't tell you how much I dig that Khyber knife.

 

[RogerP]

A few more to add to the mix - and thanks to Coop for capturing these beauties!

1. Russ Andrews Persian

A Best Bowie thread without a Russ Andrews knife would just be wrong. Thankfully, we have this elegant Persian piece to make things right.

2. Don Hanson III Ivory Fighter

Ivory, damascus, sleek lines, flawless execution - all the DHIII hallmarks are present and accounted for.

3. John Horrigan Multibar Bowie

I would love to own a Horrigan piece one day. A guy can dream.

4. Jason Knight Barsoom Fighter

If the primary goal is to have a knife that is absolutely fierce, Jason should be on your short list.

5. Steve Randall Stag Bowie

Amber stag and ladder damascus just might be my fave bowie combination of all time. This is a sweet example.

 

[SharpByCoop]

Grab your belt and pull up your trousers... I have a LOT to show you!

First things first: Yes, this IS promotional. I promise a broad service. It benefits YOU the viewers, the MAKERS who have spent $$$ looking to make their work look as good as possible, AND to get extra exposure. And it benefits me and my family business. Are we good? Thank you, if so.

#1 Paul Brach, JS - Traditional Sheffield goodness!

#2 Keith Fludder - from Australia (with ringed gidgee no doubt!)

#3 Keith Fludder - Killing it with the walrus ivory and dreamy steel.

#4 Junpei Makkari - This doesn't fit in so well with the rest here, but it SURE is terrific!

#5 Mardi Meshejian - He never fits in with ANYONE, but he brings us a smile nonetheless.

 

[SharpByCoop]

#1 Schuyler Lovestrand - Perhaps you saw this one before? On the COVER of Knife magazine!

#2 Shayne Carter, JS - Forged in Fire CHAMP shows us why!

#3 Russel Roosevelt, JS - These JS guys pressing forward with the damascus. We know why....

#4 Brett Noake - Brett who? With this kind of work, he's opening up BIG eyes!

 

[SharpByCoop]

#1 Jay Hoffman - Stand clear, I've got some WORK to do!

#2 Kevin Casey - His feather steel is unsurpassed. Dang...!

#3 Tim Withers - This camp knife begs to be gripped and swung. Hard.

#4 Sid Suedmeier - This veteran maker from MO knows how to make a proper Bowie.
