Collaborative Bowie to help save elephants Pictures of the finished knife

The name"Tembo Bowie" was suggested by our own Ebbtide.

Jumbo was a corruption of the word Tembo.

It must be true, I saw it on TV

"Tembo Bowie" has a bit of a ring, a little alliteration and some rhythm to it.
 
Beautiful work by all… that really is a stunner.
Thanx for the shout out :)
 
WOW!! That turned out fantastic! What a great piece for a great cause. That is a stunner.

Congratulations to all involved.............from concept to execution of the knife, sheath, engraving scrimshaw and photography. Really well done all! :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Here's a sneak peek at the poster and the fliers for the auction at the Blade Show. The winning bidder of the Bowie can have the poster to take home too.

Mark, this is a beautiful project indeed!

If you send me the full resolution file/files of the knife,
I shall use them to make it a full page illustration in
my next book.... If you like, of course...

All the best,
David Darom (ddd)

It's very nice for the prospective owner of this knife to know there is a pretty good likelihood it will be published. I am pretty sure this one will be seen around a bit. Thank you David.
 
What did this knife bring at auction? If it was announced I sure missed it.
