Great photos. Love the bowie. Can't wait to see what you do with my hunter next week.

Johnny stout also does great work but I wouldnt have recognized it as his.

Thanks Caleb I love the setting you picked for the knife it fits it so well I call it the last fighting dragon as it was made with the last blade and bits of fighting dragon damascus I had, I was going to save it and pull it out in a few years but in little rock last year a collector ask if I could make a him a fighting dragon bowie I was glad to do it for him. I cant say I will never do it again but it will not be any time soon.
 
That first photo is outstanding - the setting makes it. I spent a while trying to work out what sorcery was making the blade levitate! Looks great I love the shadow photos too. Suits the knife makes it almost mystical which suits the theme.
 
Two beautiful knives superbly photographed.

Dave's Fighting Dragons are some of the greatest Damascus I've seen, and the stag fighter version is just right.

Indeed it is a pleasure to view these two fine knives in your equally fine photographs Caleb. Superb craftsmanship by all.
 
Great stuff Caleb! Congrats to Dave, Johnny and Jim on some outstanding pieces.
 
Beautiful Knives and photos. That Damascus is awesome. Dave, why stop making it??
Also love Stout folders. There a reason he won best in AR.
 
Great photos!

Dave, I hope that this is not the last of the 'Fighting Dragons'. What an amazing pattern. Before I even knew him, Jon Christensen's 'Leaf' pattern damascus has always been a favorite of mine. Since seeing the 'Fighting Dragons', this pattern has come to be an equal favorite. You do it so well Dave and it looks great on this knife too.

That Stout Trapper is unreal. I've always loved the two blade trapper and this one is outstanding. The engraving and the ivory really make this a real looker.
 
Great shots of those beauties....

I was lucky enough to score a little 'ringed' personal knife from Dave out of that steel.....amazing stuff. :cool:
 
you are a very good photographer Caleb.

Caleb, You have done a great job on these knives for me. You just knocked this out of the field past the outfield. Barry Connell
