Here's my latest addition. A NLT Sendero Jerry made for his show.
See it created from damascus weld-up to final engraving.
Thanks for looking.

That design looks tons better with the rear bolster, and the shaping! SOOOO much more balanced.

Excellent score, and gorgeous steel!

Best Regards,

STeven Garsson
 
Fantastic Knife
I also love the addition of the framed handle Bolster..really sets the piece off
lines are even crisper bet it feels good too giving just a bid more heft in hand
Great Aquisition ..treasure her!
 
Wonderful! Steven pointed out the visual balance thing. He's got a great point.

I love the whole package. Jerry's damascus is always a show. This one looks like water cascading over a long step.

Chuck Ward takes a great photo, doesn't he? Nice. :thumbup:

Kevin,
Incredible Damascus blade and this knife just goes uphill from there.
The "tutorial" was an eye opener for sure,thanks for the link. :thumbup:

One to treasure forever! :cool:
Don't know if there is a Fisk in my future but I sure hope so. :)
IIRC,Jerry Fisk's birthday was Sunday,Happy Belated,Jerry. :D :cool:

Jerry has turned out some spectacular Senderos over the years. This may well be the best yet.

Congrats!

I do think that's the nicest Sendero I've ever seen! Especially in light of STeven's observation... :thumbup: Not normally one for engraving, but the use of it on this piece really sets it off... Most excellent aquisition! :D
 
Best Sendero I've seen. You must have a world class collection...
 
Thanks for the interest and comments everyone.

I really like the rear bolster and frame design too, as it not only adds to the appearance but contributes to the comfort and feel of the knife in hand.

This is the first Sendero of this style, however think we will see more of these from Jerry.

Chuck is taking very nice photos.
 
That knife just has it all, everything, the whole enchilada. Damn, I like that one...!
 
Although it pains me deeply to agree with Mr. Garsson, I will in this case. That is one supah fine mamajama! The damascus is some of THE best I've ever seen.
 
From the beginning, Jerry knew just how he wanted the damascus pattern to turn out, and was not going to accept anything else. In my opinion, he set aside a couple of great blades (progressive step #9, and especially #10) in his determination to get the fine pattern he ended up with.

Again, thanks for the looks and comments.
 
That is an amazing piece. it makes my little bone-handled Sendero look downright pedestrian, if that is possible. Jerry had a blurb done in his typical kinda folksy, aw shucks fashion on his site a while back about how he was learning to engrave a bit.:D And we see the results of his "dabbling" in engraving. I am convinced that he made some Faustian midnight deal at a crossraods in Mississippi back in the mid-80's:cool: I have Bill Bagwell's book and it is very funny to read his article from 87 or so wherein he describes Mr. Fisk as an up-and-coming maker who sells a very nice bowie for a very low price. Where's my time machine, dammit!!!!!! :D

Oh, hell yeah, but they cost a littlemore than the $200 or so odd dollars that the stag model in the Bagwell book sold for..:D I kind of stumbled into my Sendero. Kenny Rowe had it for sale at the fall '05 hammer-in in Washington. He made an elephant skin sheath for it. The knife has a stippled bone handle which kinda looks like ivory so a good match:thumbup:

I sold a Sendero like that several years ago. The bone was polished and looked remarkably like elephant ivory. Maybe the same one. Anyway good a looking piece.
 
Kenny said this one was the first knife that Jerry tried stippling the bone on. It has two diamond shaped patches that are roughed up with a burr in the same or a similar fashion to the way Ed Caffrey textures some of his handles. Pretty cool and another impulse buy:D The Sendero is a very sleek little package:thumbup:
