Hi Guy's
Been a little while since I last posted anything for sale here on the forum, been busy with orders and show knives . This knife is VERY special to me, but it has to go. This is my VERY FIRST HAND FORGED blade and I'm VERY happy how it turned out. I thought about keeping this one for me but since I forged it now I have the forging bug and need to sell it to start raising money for the new power hammer. Hopefully in the next couple years that makers mark will have a "JS" stamp next to it, That is my goal.. Well enough of that here it is "MY FIRST FORGED KNIFE"..

Thanks Guy's. Man I should have never forged this knife, I really got the bug and now thats all I can think about is forging. My wife is ready to kill me. New forge, anvil, hammers, power hammer, press..LOL And when I told her I was thinking about keeping the bowie I thought that was the end..LOL. WOMEN THEY JUST DONT UNDERSTAND.

Larry, Burton, It was good seeing you guy's at the show and always good to talk and listen to the ideas. And Congratulations to you Burton for winning the Best of show, Thats a really nice Bowie and well deserved

Larry, You need to get a table next year, get one by me, we might not sell out but we will have fun..LOL

I'll take the Sambar stag Bowie. I will always allow you to buy it back for the same cost if you decide you should have kept it for posterity due to it being your first forged knife! Gordy
 
Thanks Gordy, It is all yours. And thanks for the offer to buy it back I will remember that. Just dont tell my wife..LOL
 
That stag bowie just screams awesome, great piece for your first forged knife. I will keep an eye for more of your nice work in the future.
