You can't sit around just waiting for Blade to happen, and my carbon Bowie from Kevin has a new home in Italy, so I was very pleased to acquire this one from Kevin. I have been having the hardest time trying to photograph this knife. Here is the best that I can do until Coop does it properly. The etch on the 640 layer Damascus blade is VERY subtle and difficult to capture. It is 14.5" overall with a 9.5" blade, Damascus fittings and an African Blackwood handle. As usual Kevin's work is simply superb. Enjoy.

That is as fine a Cashen knife as I have seen. It has incredible aesthetic balance, and is in my opinion one of the nicest bowies I have seen.
 
TOP NOTCH! :cool:

Great work Kevin, and nice score Peter!!! :thumbup:

Making a sculpted fighter guard like that with a slightly oversized handle for a relief at the juncture, has got to be a major pain. Kevin did it beautifully.

The overall lines are VERY pleasing to the eye. :)
 
Kevin does great work and that bowie is a prime example of that. The guard seems to have been made of multibar damascus.
 
Peter you do more buying, selling and trading than Donald Trump.:eek: ;)

Great piece, like the Damascus pattern and the strong 15n20 content gives it very nice sheen. It's a :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: for sure.......
 
Outstanding! :thumbup:
The handle/guard treatment is amazing,as is the rest of the knife.

The pics ain't bad either. :D

I agree with Keith..."incredible aesthetic balance". A very cool piece. The blackwood handle seems to be a must with this damascus. I like everything about it.
