I was the winner of this raffle in 2012, it included this wonderful bowie, a John Cohea sheath and stand and a book documenting the process.
From Js website: This Bowie was built as a benefit piece for the March of Dimes. The damascus blade is 11" and done in a canister weld with high carbon powder steel and contrasting "marching arrows" in the steel and forge marked/acid soaked flats. The guard is wrought iron with matching "arrow" tips. The handle is a Sambar Stag crown with a throat of high contrast laminate damascus with a black spacer and secured with a piened/etched carbon steel pin. The knife comes with a rawhide sheath with antler and rattlesnake accents by John Cohea.
This is a picture of the knife as it appeared on J.'s website.
This is how it looks today. It is unused, never sharpened, and never stored in sheath. Edge is perfect.

This link showcases the labor that went into creating the knife.
