Knife is now SOLD! Thanks to all and to bladeforums.
Here is a rare opportunity to pick terrific big damascus bowie by Steve Filicietti.
This knife features a clip point blade of some 11 1/4" in length, with an overall length of 17". A no-excuses, full-size bowie. The damascus blade displays a mesmerizing pattern - there is almost a liquid quality to the large swirls, pools and whirls - like a stream flowing over a rocky bed. The blade is highly polished, and watching the light play down its length is better entertainment than you'll likely find on TV.
The generous handle is crafted from a real nice piece of box elder burl, with terrific colour and figure. The file-worked fittings are blued mild steel - depending on the ambient light, they can appear dark blue, dark grey, or almost black:
This maker's meticulous attention to detail extends all the way to the nicely file-workd butt cap:
The fit and finish on this knife is superb. The condition is mint. I purchased this knife directly from Steve and while it has frequently been admired, it has never been used. As you probably know, Steve is no longer making knives. His bowies currently in existence are thus finite in quantity. A small handful of examples if his fine work are avialable for sale from reputable purveyors. A quick perusal shows smaller carbon steel bowies offered at $1,200 to $1,600. The only comparable damascus bowie is listed at over $2,500. This knife is available to the first forged bowie fan to e-mail me with an "I'll take it" for US$1,575.00 inclusive of shipping anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. There is no sheath available, but a padded / zippered case will be included.
Payment by U.S. International Postal Money Order (the pink ones), Money Order drawn on any Canadian Bank or wire transfer.
Best of luck,
Roger Pinnock
