Excellent execution and selection of materials Nick.......impressive
 
Thanks guys! :)

I just realized I completely forgot to put the specs in... :o LOL @ myself...

I'll edit the op to include them.
 
God I want this so bad! That Damascus looks like it has vampire fangs in it. You need to get that ms stamp Nick. Your work is already there!

:eek::eek: You know, last night I was thankful that this hadn't shown up here yet. Now that I see it here, I am sad :(. Believe me, Nick, I've taken a hard look at picking this one up, too. I just can't get myself all the way there in my mind, and unless I'm all the way there, I can't pull the trigger. It's absolutely not the knife's fault, as this one would be a perfect campanion to the hamon bowie, but I have to try and be a financially responsible grown up. What sucks is I was in a position to do this not more than a week ago, but that ship sailed already.

Keep posting them up for sale! It's amazing that everyone has a shot as owning this level of top-end work.

Nice to see that Nick is still alive and making beautiful knives.

Now, if I could ever get him to return a call....
 
Thanks fellas :)

Nathan- We appreciate you adding the W2 fighting bowie to your collection SOOOO much. I'm still stunned about that! That you even considered this one too, is so flattering... THANK YOU my friend!!! :)

Peter- I tried calling you back after Erin told me you called! Did you change your number? I thought you just forgot to call me back. Please shoot me your # to NickWheelerJs at hotmail dot com with a good time to call, and I'll give you a ring! :)
 
Awesome fighter!! Terrific damascus and that sculpted guard is a nice touch! Beautiful sheath too Nick!
 
Nick, I am in the process of selling a rental property. If the buyers qualify for their mortgage, I will drop you a line on this one. I can't make any promises, but if the house sale goes through, I'll be in touch if its still available. I'll know more in 2-4 weeks as the buyers and I go through the process. Your "Wheeler's Steel" inspired me last spring to try my hand at making a few blades, so this would be fitting. Good luck, and hopefully this sells for you soon whether to me or someone who has the cash right now.
 
Looks like this one is sold... Thank you guys!!! :)

Willie71- Thank you for that, I appreciate it! Angi and I were tickled to see you actually mentioned my thread in your profile. :D
