A Bagwell Style "KILLER"-BOWIE by Claude Bouchonville !!!

BTW. This Bowie is not a copy, ITS a tribute to Bill Bagwells GREAT work.



[Removed]

Claude is a Belgian bladesmith....Mr. Bowie from Belgium !!! ;-)



Inspired by my "new" Bowie book, a correspondence with Claude or just because I like Bowies very much ....

.....a new Bowie by Claude is "on the way" !

That's a terrific knife. You can clearly see the Bagwell inspiration, but the maker has rendered his own interpretation. Very, very nice.

Roger, i have told you and the other forged knife guys before that you really need to take a trip to the Gembloux show at some point. :D
