...living in perfect harmony.

these bowies were built on order for a german scrimshander.
it was a very interesting (...and demanding) challenge to get them equal-
but everything worked well- even the two hamon are similar.
the wooden sheaths were a ´first´ for me.

ok, you´re right-
taking pictures didn´t work.
these knives need better lightning...and a better fotografer! :(
those wicked glossy and curvy surfaces are to tricky for me,
fotography is a craft I never lerned, unfortunatelly.
but I hope my customer will commision a pro to take perfect fotos when the scrims are done.

some specs:
W1 forged
wrought iron
bronze
mammoth/waterbuffalo
total 36cm
blade 23cm
thickness 6,5-2,omm

sheaths:
ebony
mammoth/buffalo
bronze

thanks for looking!

You sure have great design skills Gerhard. Those have such graceful lines and look exceptionally well crafted.

Pleasure seeing them.

Very excellent indeed! I am almost never impressed by a Bowie, but here are two that are most outstanding in their pairing!
 
Stunning sir!!!!! I do hope to see them after the scrim. Can't imagine that they could look better, but I would love to see the results.

Absolutly breathtaking! Those are as nice of knives as I have ever seen. :thumbup:
 
Absolutely astounding, such a beautiful pair of knives and sheaths.

Wieland sets such a high standard, then exceeds it.

Wow, Awesome Pair!!!

I trust the German scrimshander chose the mateials to use as a canvas. If so, please share the finished product when he is done.

Thanks
