Quite a while back I got the idea for a knife based off of my Forged in Fire episode. I used some W2 from my fellow competitor Rob Singleton. I was able to get a white oak whiskey barrel lid from Linda Hibben, the legendary Gil Hibben’s wife. I also had parts of the busted Qinglong Ji from Michael Kerley.
The final outcome was this Bowie, featuring a hamon, the barrel wood, and a Damascus guard that includes Mike’s busted spear. I have a stand in mind that will have more barrel wood and some forged parts.
This one will be available at the ICCE show in Fort Worth at the end of March.
