I'll let him give you the details on this beauty. I'll just say that I'm positively green with envy.

I'm going to see if I can get a slightly larger and clearer pic.
 
Thanks for posting this pic, Roger. Ok, here's the deal. This was one of the knives Burt submitted for his Mastersmith grading(which he passed; no surprise to anyone who has seen Burt's work).

Blade: around 10-11" of forged 52100. Ground nice and thin for such a big, honkin blade. Spine and underneath the ricasso mirror polished, while the flats are a really nice handrubbed satin finish.

Oval guard and ferrule: Damascus

Handle: one super sweet chunk of stabilized English Walnut with a single domed pin.
 
I love knives.I Really Love that knife!
congrats to Burt for achieving his MS stamp and Dan for the major score
 
Burt had a number of gorgeous knives on his table, but this was definitely one of the most stunning. Also the biggest - no surprise Danbo had to buy it. Burt's table was a regular stop for me during the two days I was there - in part to drool over this and his other knives - and in part because he's such a friendly and engaging guy. A real pleasure to talk to.
 
Danbo, I think you justified your trip to Atlanta, seriously :cool: .

Burt, CONGRATULATIONS on your MS stamp!

Danbo, get that camera working, we want to see the rest of your loot! :eek:
 
Burts work is superb for those of you that have not seen it. I am sorry he moved east as I enjoyed his presence at the westerly shows. I AM gonna get me one!! :D
 
You gotta know that I am going to like this knife. Bowies with big meaty blades are my favorites and this one fits that genre perfectly.
