Bailey Bradshaw Gallery

I know I'm not worthy, but earlier today I got to handle that integral damascus bowie and the hunting sword posted on the CTCKS thread. They're both incredibly beautiful, and wait until you guys see the finished hunting sword. I swear I nearly cried because I'm broke, and I'm almost sure I stuttered when I told Mr. Bradshaw what a work of art it is.
He's a heck of a nice guy, too, as was everyone I met there today. I'm going back tomorrow and taking my wife. I think if she can see some of his work, or John Fitch's, she'll get why I love knives.

Thanks to all those who posted the breathtaking work of Mr. Bradshaw. It was a treat to view!

Post photos of your Bailey Bradshaw knives here in one thread.
Let's see the wide diversity of his work.

Stag folding lockback (the word "stag" is an understatement!)
6-7/8" overall
3-1/8" blade
Look! No nail nick, but its really light to open.

Show us your Bradshaw knives...
 
I should have a fully mounted Bradshaw katana within two weeks, and I'll be sure to post some photos when it arrives. :)
 
Not sure who this Bradshaw fellow is, but I came across a few pics of his stuff. :)

P.S. - Wasn't there a Bradshaw pics thread on here somewhere already?
 
Here's one that I nearly had. But it still belongs to me!
(Just that it was stolen last year on its way to me by a customs employee :grumpy: )

Something a little bit different from the "normal" stuff (If you can call any of Bailey's work "normal" !)

(Keep an eye open for it by the way)

Get back in line there sir! ;)
There's one I have had on order since last year. A sub 3" slip joint with a browned damascus blade, like you see on old damascus shotguns. So yes... I can understand your feelings perfectly!

Cheers
Rod

Integral bowie. Mastodon ivory, sculpted ricasso and 11" "falling ladder" pattern damascus. The finial is heat colored and gold inlaid. The pommel is sculpted damascus.

That integral is mind-boggling.
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Here's a bad photo of my new (and first!) Bradshaw. This knife is excellent, probably the best knife I've owned; it's been in my pocket since I got it and I see it remaining there.

Hey Dylan, that's a sweet little folder, is the blade 52100 or 3V?

In any case, now that I have a few minutes, here are my Bradshaw fixed blades. I guess it goes without saying that Bailey is one of my favorite makers, between he and Don Hanson, I could be very happy... :)

11" "S" guard bowie, sharp top clip, Amboynia burl handle, guard and ferrule are lightly heat blued twist damascus, buttcap is explosion pattern damascus with a heat blued finial screw, blade has a very nice, frosty Hamon that was very hard to pick up in the picture. One of my favorite bowies.

5.5" small bowie, the damascus is extremely chatoyant and shimmers in the light.
