Hi fellas,
Did everyone already know about the two awesome forged blades that will be raffled off at the American Bladesmith Expo Jan. 25, 2004?
The first is a Daniel Winkler Bowie with damascus blade and fittings. I don't remember if the handle is bone or ivory. It comes with one of those fancy frontier style sheaths with a matching damascus concho. It is valued at $4500.
The other is a damascus art dagger by Larry Fuegan. Of course it has carved and french grayed fittings and carved ivory handle with gold spacers. It has a black leather sheath with engraved nickel silver tip and throat. It is valued at $7500.
I handled these knives at Atlanta and Orlando and they are both exceptional pieces of craftsmanship. I'll post pics as soon as I can.
The raffle tickets are $10 each or 12 tickets for $100. I have about 50 tickets available myself. You can e-mail me at jpknives@cyberback.com.

Awesome! Where is the expo being held? I'd like to attend if it isn't too far from here. Thanks for the info.
 
Hi Kurt,
The show is in Reno, NV Jan. 23, 24, 25 at the Silver Legacy Hotel. It features all-forged blades by ABS Master and Journeyman smiths.

For hotel reservations, call 800-687-8733 and request group code of MBLADE4
 
Hmmm . . . well, I'll have to see when the time comes. Maybe I could make a weekend of it, we shall see. Thanks for all of the info, it sounds like a cool event. I love the style and feel of good forged blades, they were by far my favorites at the Blade Show.
 
The Reno show last year was great. The best quality knives I've ever seen.
 
Keep in mind the custom gunmakers and gun engravers show runs in the same motel at the same time. Unbelievable rifles there to look at. Also the safari club is in town then.

Show was great last year. Looking forward to Reno again this year!
