Here is a new custom order I just finished up.

The 6 1/2" blade is is made from 1080 and 15N20 in "W" Feather Pattern Damascus. The handle is Premium Ancient Mammoth Ivory with a nice blue color to it. The frame and fittings are made of "W" Feather Pattern Damascus and German Silver for the file worked pieces. There are also sharp teeth on two thirds of the clip. The overall length is 11 1/2" long.

Tell me what you think!

Thanks for looking!

Your knives ( and Caleb's photo's) just keep getting nicer and nicer Kyle.
This one is "real nice."

I don't particularly care for the sawteeth,
but the rest or the knife is absolutely STUNNING!

Kyle, you continue to amaze me with your talent, you should be proud.
 
A little off subject, But how about some shop pictures? I would like to see this anvil you and your father built.
 
Wonderful work again, Kyle. Real consistent filework and sawteeth. Those things really catch my eye.

Even younger Caleb is doing your work justice. :thumbup: Nice to view.

Keep it up!

I really like the knife and in particular the feather pattern. I really don't care for the saw teeth.

figures a sheathmaker wouldn't care for sawteeth;)
:D
Your brother is getting a lot better with his camera. You guys are going to make for a killer team, in this age of internet custom knife sales. A family business! My brother works for my shop and it's the best thing ever, if you can, to work with your family.

The sawteeth almost look to me that they're an homage to the feather patterned steel you are rocking most handily, on a military inspired knife whose utility and practicality exist on every level.

Although many would see the sawteeth as a practical consideration, I personally see them as part of the artistic language behind the knife, especially in conjunction with the various materials chosen to complete it.

Almost there!:thumbup::D
 
Your damascus looks primo and I'm sure that mammoth is striking in person. Sawteeth compliment your damascus, looks good and I'm usually not a fan as they have a tendency to stick to the ribs. :D

All kidding aside, another winner Kyle!

Cheers!

Unique idea doing the saw teeth with the feather pattern. Never saw that before. The mammoth ivory is rich looking also.
 
I like this one Kyle. The feather pattern is very fine and the sawteeth compliment it. They are more like file work than usable saw teeth. Nice clean work everwhere I look on it. Beautiful bowie.
 
Great looking knife Kyle. wonderful pattern and the whole construction is super but I agree with many that the saw teeth don't crank my wheel. Caleb -- you are making terrific strides in photographing knives. Quite interesting and amazing to see two brothers working together like this. Looking forward to seeing more knives and photos.
 
Nice fighter,Kyle! The recent issue of Blade has a good article on fighters. Distinguishing between bowie and fighter comes into play often with different definitions abound. I would say the sawteeth slide this one into the fighter category for sure. :eek:

Never tire of seeing your feather pattern work. :thumbup:

Kyle, this is a right up my alley! I'm a big fan of 5-7 inch fighters and this is near perfect. Like others, I'd probably do without the saw teeth but overall it's a WOW!!

Pictures are terrific!
