G'day all, Here is a Bowie I finished recently. 3 bar twist 1075 & 15N20, BL 8 3/4", OAL 14 3/4". Damascus fittings, copper spacers, Sambar handle.
Comments welcome and thanks for looking.

Wow, beautiful! The symmetry and precision in that damascus is something to behold. Really nice contrast in the etch too. What else do I like about it... the stag. Yep that's a sweet piece of stag. Looks great and seems just the right size and curvature to be comfortable and effective. Also love the way you set off those spacers with a little copper accent. Overall blade shape is classy and clean and what else is there to say? This bowie rocks!

Roger take note of this one - contest coming up right?

Lorien, That would be keithf, or Keith Fludder, or as my mates call me, slim, they call me by other names too, bit this is a family show, yeah. Mate love your Island home, visited there a few years back. Great place, great people and great beer! Hmmm mmmm Sleemans Honey Brown. Wish we could get that here.
Cheers Keith
 
Thanks very much Wulf and Murray. Yep that stag was just a beauty to hold, wish I had some more like that!
Cheers Keith
 
Quite honestly, it looks to be perfect. In addition to all the amazing features that have been idenified, the blade steel is off the charts!
 
thanks Keith. I'm putting together a little something special for a certain annual event this forum has some fun with. Last names are important...
Send me your mailing address and I will send you a six pack in the new year. Better than Sleemans.

LOVE that bowie Keith! I like EVERYTHING about it! I'm a huge fan of popcorn stag and that is a beautiful piece.

Your damascus is AWESOME!

Some fine looking knives.....good patterns to start with, but you put your own touches all over them....and quite well. The detail work under the guard and the blackened buttcap are quite striking.

I find the dagger blade a bit long, but it is still a lovely piece.

Happy Holidays!

Best Regards,
