Here's a look at a recent tour-de-force bowie by Jerry Fisk. I wish I could say it were mine, but Mr. Neaves is the lucky recipient of this beauty. I'll let him fill in the details.

Oh, hot damn!!!! :eek:

KILLER Ivory.......what Damascus pattern is that?!? New one on me..... :confused:
 
Roger,THANK YOU for posting these for me.

I haven't even held it yet, I'll pick it up tomorrow. Fissssk sent these to make me hurt! I'm more patient than I used to be. ;)

It's fossilized walrus, I picked it up at the Arkansas show several years ago. The guard, two of the three pieces of the furrel are S.S. along with the butt cap. The pattern is pool and eye, I THINK! I've e-mailed Jerry and asked him to give a few particulars.

more later...

thanks for looking
 
I'd love to get a closer look at that blade. You got yourself an exceptional knife there Darby; congratulations.
 
Darby,
You scored big on that one!
Now, how many of fisks knives do you own now....10-12??

HELLO KEITH!

I em jerry to see if he could take a better pic and send to Roger to post. I don't think he is home right now.

DALE!!!!!!!!!! i have a few...with another one coming.
 
Stunning - when I look at this knife it again really demonstrates Jerry's incredible eye for design, his ability to blend elegance, balance, and strength, into one stunning, yet supremely functional piece of "art" never fails to impress and inspire.

Congratulations, I would love to see the others in you collection.

The blade is just rain drop pattern forged in. Walruns ivory, and stainless mountings. The ferrule is two thin stainless on the outside with a chunk of etched wrought iron in between.
 
Could someone post a more detailed pic? It has wet my appetite, but personally I can't see anything but blotches on this one...
 
I have sent a message to Fisk's secretary to take other pics and send to Roger...maybe tomorrow. I will be getting this piece pro. done in the future.

i wasn't able to pick it up today, probably by the end of the week.
 
Some better pics for you guys :) :

Love that wrought iron accent in the ferrule - terrific touch.

Thanks Red!

Patti, Naaman, and I went to Fisk's today. The pictures above DO NOT reflect how nice this bowie is. In the sunlight the 10" blade shimmers, it's like it is alive; even more so than the one on display at the museum in Little Rock. I must tell you, this is one of my favorites. The wrought iron is a nice touch and yes it feels like a Fisk. I am happy to say the least.

one, more thing: on the other side is engraved, NLT-05...it made me smile :)

If anyone needs me, I'll be in my chair looking at a knife!

edited to add: THANK YOU, JERRY!
 
To quote Red:

"This is Naaman picking up his first Fisk knife. Naaman is sitting on Fisk's
anvil.
What a cutie!"
