The William F. Moran Blade Forging & Knife Exhibition starts next Friday in Frederick, Maryland. Here are three that I'll be taking along for the knife exhibition/show.

This one is a little bird & trout with walrus ivory.

This one I think everyone has already seen. It's an El Camino Royale with Stellar Seacow bone, and a mother-of-pearl inlaid esctcheon.

This one I just finished tonight. It's a Southwestern Bowie in raindrop pattern Damascus. The handle is premium grade black walnut, and has a mother-of-pearl inlaid escutcheon.

I'll also be taking along a little Platypus personal carry with birds-eye maple. I don't have a shot of that one. I've been busting it getting everything ready and I'm too pooped to try to take any more shots. I've still got to get the paperwork done.

Monday I head out for Jerry Fisk's place, then Tuesday we start the trek to Maryland. We'll be helping setup the pavillion and the grounds for the Hammer-in/Exhibition. We'll also be planning out the cutting competition and scouring the town for all the goodies for the events. Actually I imagine we'll have the events all planned out by the time we get there. There's plenty of time to think it out. Last year it took us 22 hours to get there from Jerry's house -- *whew*

Oh yeah, the plain carbon blades are 1084. The Damascus one is 1084 and 15n20.
 
Wow Terry, you don't turn out a whole lot of damascus blades, but when you do... oh baby! It will come as no surprise to you that I love that bowie. Gorgeous piece of walnut too. And that little bird an trout with the walrus ivory is particularly sweet as well. Not often do you see walrus with carbon steel. Cool. :cool:

The southwestern bowie is fantastic - the broad, deep bellied blade, upswept blade is one of my favourite shapes at the moment.

Your work just keeps getting better and better Terry.

Ooh Terry, you did make my nightmare when I witness this newly finished Damascus blades. And I couldn't help being buried in lust for my possible coming 9" Southwestern Bowie with walrus ivory handle. Anyway, that's really great job!
 
Terry, once again that sea cow Camino is sweet, but that Southwestern Bowie just knocked my socks off. big belly Bowie with a nice rolling flow of blade to handle curve and some really eye-catching damascus. Amazing!
 
Amazing! I love them all, especially the bowie.
