Damascus Bowie

[mike ruth]

Here's one I took to the Arkansas Knife Show. I hope you like it.
The Blade is 9 3/8" long. It has 320 layers of 1084 & 15n20. The guard, ferrule,and butt cap are 416 stainless. The handle is Walrus Ivory. The OAL is 14 3/8". Chuck Ward did an outstanding job on the photo.What do you think?

Mike, you know that I like you(cue Funeral March).....

It is a clean, crisp Southwest style looking bowie with a plate guard, and nice fossil ivory.

You regularly make knives that are SOOOO much racier, and thusly more attractive to me. Nothing wrong with playing it safe...but it is what it is....and does nothing to distinguish you, with the exception of the trademark killer damascus and hardening line.

More knives like the one that your son worked on designing with you last year, please.....and please knock out a dagger SOON(my feeling is that it will be spectacular)!

Best Regards,

Is that a "hamon" or is the damascus edge hardened only?

Very nice Mike.
Extremely elegant.
Super damascus as usual.

Very nice I like it all But I do not care for a hardening line in damascus myself. I would rather draw back the back of the knife and keep my damascus clean.
