What's not to like about this Bowie? Great stag, fit and finish second to none and a wonderful design. This blade has much more substance and heft than I thought it would. Quite the piece gentlemen. Thanks to all, especially the makers for making a wonderful and memorable piece. Let's do it again in 2008!
 
I told Kevin how to handle the drawing and he flunked lunch. :confused:

When he was handed the winning ticket to, all he had to was say "Peter Gill is the winner" and toss the ticket back into the bowl.
I hope that he doesn't muck it up again next year. ;) Seriously congratz Michael T. :thumbup:

Congrats, Mike!

Peter, that's funny, I had the same talk with Kevin :confused:;)

I was looking forward to having my name called :)
 
Glad you are pleased with it Michael.

I inspected it quickly at Blade as there was so much going on. Really got a closer look at Jerry's and it's an amazing piece to say the least.
 
Congrats, Mike!

No way, Don.......like you need another gorgeous bowie.........go to your room and don't come out until you make one for yourself!!!!!:p
I will say that I am surprised that nobody has started a thread debating whether this is actually a $7K+ knife or merely a $20 knife:D All kidding aside, congratulations, Mike. Great knife and a great cause. Well done, everyone:thumbup:
 
Here are a few pictures of the knife that may be of interest..... From a block of W2 laying on Jerry's anvil, to Jerry forging the blade, to a cake by Kim Rodgers, that we enjoyed Friday night before the drawing, to the finished knife. Hopefully I'll get the photos posted in the right order.........:)
