Thanks for posting the pictures of your knives, Michael. I didn't realize that you owned the engraved bowie knife.
Roger, the embellishment is some of Joyce Minnick's early work. She did the engraving and gold inlay on this knife, and a set of sub hilts I designed and Doug Casteel and I made. I think shortly after that she saw she could keep busy enough just embellishing her husband's knives. And thanks for the compliment!
I appreciate all the comments from you guys.
