well I am snowed in a bit here in Seattle looks like about 6" worth so far I am going to try to make it down to my shop 5 min away should only take about an hour with way folks drive around here in the snow, But I thought I would try and take some pics of this Bowie I just got back from Victor F LaNasa He made the sheath for it. I had him Make two sheath's for me they will both be at the show. I will show the other one here at some point Vic dose lots of horse and saddle stuff I think that shows in his sheath work I can tell it is well made and that he takes pride in his work.lb1.jpglb2.jpglb3.jpglb4.jpg
 
Ok I know that I cant fool you guys maybelb5.jpglb6.jpglb7.jpg if I took better pics I could but this blade is only 3-3/4" long and the OAL is 7 -3/4 just a a fun little bowie I wanted to try I got the snowed cleared off the car I am going to go work on the last one for the show so I can get them all in the mail on Monday
 
I was wondering why the pics were so outta focus! Nice job with proportions bro, ya fooled me.
 
You got some wild stuff going on in that steel, Dave:thumbup: and the stag and butt cap are just plain awesome. Can't wait to check it out in person.
 
Dave, Nice looking package! Hope you have a great show and make sure you bug Mike. I'm sure glad most the snow is staying in Seattle. I'm having a hard enough time walking out to the shop.
 
Very nice! I like the over all design and curvature, it looks very balanced as well - not to mention your insane damascus...
 
Very Nice Dave!

You totally fooled me, at least looking on my iPhone screen, I thought it was 8". That's personal carry size, gents Bowie!
 
As usual, love the steel. I wish that Seattle & Branson weren't so far apart as I would love to see you at work some time. What's going on in the butt cap? Is that some powder in the middle of a four-way?

Hope you have a great show.

Thanks Gary. that is not powder that is 1084 you just make a W's stack and leave the last few bars all 1084 or 15n20 next weld re stack with all the solid on one side. then on that next weld re square that puts all your solid to one corner with some nice spikes coming off it then 4-way and you have it. have fun.
