Greetings all,

You may recall an abbreviated WIP thread on this piece a little while back:

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=720627

This is a well-traveled knife - from Bruce to Ken Hurst, back to Bruce, then to Paul Long, then to Coop. Now that I am back from some brief travels of my own, the knife has made its way to me.

Specs are as follows:

Blade: Feathered damascus in 1084 / 15N20
Handle: Culpepper dyed amber stag
Dimensions: 7 1/2", 12 3/8 overall
Engraving / gold inlay: Ken Hurst

Bottom line - this just a terrific piece in every respect. The dynamite damascus alone would have been enough to make me a very happy camper, but on top of that I get to enjoy just an exceptional piece of stag and beautifully engraved fittings that all combine to really elevate what was already a superb blade.

My thanks in particular to Bruce, and to all who contributed to my enjoyment of this piece: Ken, Paul and Coop.

Enough talk - here are the pics:

One final shot of the knife and some impressive hardware it picked up at the recent OKCA show:

Absolutely Stunning Combo!! The combination of the steel and patterns and engraving are mesmerizing... :D
 
Dear Roger this knife is awesome in every way. Design, proportion, damascus, stag handle, engraving, photography and sheath. Anyway everything perfect. Congratulations to everyone involved in this wonderful project. Thank you for showing.

So many times I will see a knife in the forum and then see it later in person. Usually the photo will look a little bit nicer than the actual knife. Not so with this one.

I got to look at this knife at the OKCA show and it looked even better in person. There was a lot of time and talent invested into this knife. No wonder it won best damascus knife and best in show.

This has to be my all time favorite of any knife I have ever seen in person.
 
That Bowie is absolutely amazing, love the steel, the sheath really goes well and sets the whole thing off!
 
More than well deserving of the awards.. That is truly a stunning piece. I am awestruck and enraptured. And what a beautiful sheath to finish it off.

Congratulations Roger...!
 
See this one going in the Best Bowies thread. :cool:

Congrats Roger and to all involved ! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I'm still kicking myself for not attending the OKCA show. Seeing these photo's is gonna require a few more well placed kicks.

Amazing work all the way around, true masters in all their respective crafts.
 
An incredible knife, coupled with superb, spectacular engraving made my part of this package a true pleasure to work with.

^^^ What they said.

Roger and I shared very few words prior to this one. "You'll know what to do...." Roger emailed me.

A pleasure in every regard. My highest compliments back to Bruce, Roger, Ken, and Paul.

Glad it's home and safe.
