A Big Bowie for Arkansas

[Gary Mulkey]

This one sports a massive 11" blade and is 16" OAL. I don't usually make my Bowies this large but the steel was so beautiful that I wanted to show it off. It's made from a piece of 7-bar Turkish (W2 & 203E) that I commissioned from Jerry Rados almost a year ago and am just now getting the knife completed. (It's one of the last pieces he made before moving to Kentucky.) The handle is mastadon w/416 fittings.

Hope you like it.

That big honkin' blade is a great canvas for that shimmering damascus. I look forward to seeing this one in person.

Gary,

Beautifully done piece. Rados damascus is something to behold and you surely put it to good use. Nicely done.:thumbup:

See, It's things like that is why my wife won't let me have any money to go to the show with. Just alittle for some supplies. That's a fine lookin knife there sir.
