Fowler Pronghorn and Fawn

[protodoc]

I always wanted to own a Fowler knife.
Now I have two: Fat Man and Little Boy

Thanks Ed for indulging me!

Very Nice!!
I'd like to use the small one.

Nice pair!! The "spacer" pieces in the pronghorn have a really great pattern.

I owned a small one for a while. They are cool knives.

Great set! I love to see Ed's knives, anywhere they pop up. The larger, full-sized Pronghorn is especially a rare treat (new photos are scarce) Hope you will enjoy!

Thanks everyone.

Ed was actually kind enough to let me pick between two Pronghorns. While they are both fantastic knives, the second one embodies everything I had been looking for in a Pronghorn.

The differences in these two well-illustrates Ed's knives are never "carbon copies" in approach. The unique features, proportions, characteristics.. He does not merely repeat a template, the same knife made over and over, or limited runs of knife "x". This is the handmade art -and what artistry is about, to me. A potter throwing a clay vessel.
What will it be?
Here, we have fully functional sculpture. At its finest!

Very nice,

I can say this about these. If you used these everyday for the rest of your life, these knives would be the last you'll ever need to own. Ed makes a timeless knife; his style, design and function will serve you as well today as well as it will tomorrow.

I've always liked Ed's knives. You scored real good, congratulations. They don't drop in value, good investment too.... especially after Ed's dead.

I am not sure that is true. I had mine (mint condition) on the market a long time and could not sell it and had to drop the price. Not to bash the knives. I like them very much and would still buy one. But I think they are better for use and carry then for investment. Im sure others have had better experiences with this.

I completely agree with this. I always felt that form should follow function and Ed has taken this concept to its logical conclusion. The only irony is that with pouring so much sweat, blood, and tears into each knife he has to charge a price that will prevent most owners from ever using the knife as intended. I wonder what portion of Pronghorns really get put to hard work. So to all of you Fowler fans: Let your knives play in the wild!
