Fancy, Feirce bowies- Post em up!

[Jon Brand]

Post photos of either your favorite fighter/bowies. Or ones from the web. I'll start with knives from my personal collection.

I cant thank Kevin Jones enough for this one. Since I saw this peice when he got it at the blade show, I fell in love with it instantly. So did Kevin. After reminding him every so often about it he menioned that it could help him out at the time, and me made the deal. Also this isnt my first beautiful knife from kevin. Thanks Kevin.

Mike Talanian helped me out with this peice. First Clamshell for me. And an award winner.

This is more of a hunter but had sort of a fighter thing going on. Also from Mike Talanian

heres my last.

Wow! Don't know if I like the clean lines of the White, or the awesome color and texture overload of the Hanson more!

Here's my small Tommy Gann fighter ...

And my Caffrey with 11.75" of san mai ...

And this internet photo of Bailey Bradshaw's presentation Bowie just makes me drool!

Yes Jon, you did mention it a few times , just goes to show determination pays off. But seriously, I was glad to see it stay in the "forums" family.

Here's a couple of mine.

at almost the other end of the scale;

but to me, this Primos is more than fancy enough

 

[Doug C]

Some incredible knives posted above !
Nothing too fancy except the damascus guard, snagged this Camerer from Danbo.

A knife, it is a work of art

 

[Kevin Jones]

A knife, it is a work of art

I agree, however I like to include "functional" work of art.
No matter how plain or how complex, still "functional art" in my opinion.

Great thread Jon. I knew it would bring out some spectacular knives.

[BowieBooster]

Roger, Kevin and Jon, you guys have some AWESOME knives in your collections!!!

 

[audiboy711]

wow those pictures just blew my mind....they should have a bowie knife gallery at the museum of art for those masterpieces.

 

[RogerP]

Marcel - those 4 Newtons collectively blow my mind. Jon / ddd - those Fuegens are truly sublime.
