Hi Folks;
Keith; thanks for posting that pic.
That knife was spec'd out for the owner with a walrus ivory handle, 1/2" nickle silver guard(he plans to get it engraved), and no external pins.
The blade is 10-1/2" long, 2-1/8" wide, and just a hair over 3/8" thick at the guard. lots of taper. The steel is 300 layer random damascus of O-1/L-6.
This is a dressed up "Chilkat" modeled after a competition knife I used at Batson's hammer-in. This knife turned out to be a devastating cutter. I had a lot of fun "testing" it before finnish.
Thanks for looking.
Adam.

Tell that to my brother in law who pounded his new computer into small pieces last time he got drunk!
Sad but true. I told him next time, call me, I will come over and trade him a case of beer for his computer. Seriously, that is a really nice looking bowie, I like the color pattern in the ivory and the damascus looks like a great pattern. Really nice work Adam.

Great looking knife, Adam. I'm sure its new owner will be very happy. I know I am. 
Didn't get a chance to make it to N. Florida this past weekend but did chop up some fallen branches from Katrina. That knife is one crazy chopper - Adam ... you the man!!!
Not to jump this thread but... Ari how did you make out from Katrina? No problems I hope... give me a call sometime. You need to see this bowie from Adam. It's Awesome! :thumbup:

Hi Mike, I meant to email you the other day, will try tonight, been a little hectic lately, luckily the storm didn't really hit us too badly though.
Congratulations on picking up this gorgeous bowie, and I most definitely want to see it in person, hell, when I read it wasn't sold yet, my little mental wheels started turning...(What can I sell...what can I sell...
) Let's get together soon for some knife show and tell.Ari
