Hi everyone!

Here is a little bowie I made for San Antonio. I'll be heading there tomorrow. The 6 1/2" blade is a W Ladder Pattern. The handle is ebony with cross hatching and 36 domed tacks. The three piece spacer is of fine ladder damascus and stainless steel with grooves and coining. The guard is sculpted ladder pattern damascus. Let me know what you think.

I would have made more knives for this show however I did not know I would be going until two weeks ago. I will also have a knife there on display that I believe is one of my best; it is #100. It is near completion and the only thing it will not have done on it will be the file work, the sheath and the four gold pins in the handle. Everything else is done and if you have time fell free to come by my table and see it. I'll give you a clue, it has W Feather Damascus, German Silver, Mammoth Ivory and 24" of gold inlay.

I would like to thank my brother Caleb for the picture.

Thanks for looking.




 
To me, this bowie defines elegance in a knife.
You have started off your second hundred in grand style.

A beautiful photo as well.
 
Holy Shit, man!
You are certainly a perfectionist. That is damn amazing.

Pardon mon francais.
 
Nice little package Kyle. I like the way the handle came out. Is the clip sharp? Great photo too!
 
VERY nice Kyle. Everything about it contributes to an exquisite knife. Caleb took a great picture too! Looking forward to seeing #100.

I love it Kyle, and hope to get to see it up close in San Antonio. I'm sure glad you're making the trip.
 
Well-above-standards are always provided by the Royer family. :D

Just a super knife in every regard. And a difficult photo I'd be proud to display.

Be well,

That's a beauty, Kyle. Love the handle & fittings. Quality stuff! If you did the handle by hand, you did a fabulous job. Ebony isn't the easiest stuff to work with.

Good luck at the show.

Very nice piece young man. By the time you reach my age, you will have it all figured out.

Thanks for sharing this with us. Best wishes at the show.
