Here's one from Greg Neely MS. Not mine but boy oh boy do I wish it was. Enjoy, I will post the specs when I receive them. Brett P.S. Danbo, try not to drool on the keyboard too much!

The blade is a ladder-patterned damascus billet, 320 layers of O-1 and 1084 steel. Full quenched, with differential tempering. Blade length is 10 inches, 15 inches overall knife length. The guard, ferrules (3 of them) are of ) O-1 steel, as is the buttcap. All are fileworked and bright blued with nitre salts.

That's a great looking Bowie. I love the handle material. It looks like some kind of ancient ivory.

Great damascus ladder, great handle (stag? or fossil?), and the blued fittings are truly blue (guessing that's blueing).

Beautiful knife.

I handled this knife at Blade.
Wow!

Holy Cow, that's GORGEOUS!!!

There are a lot of fine details that I think are hard to appreciate until you've tried to make a knife like this....

AWESOME!

Thanks for the look

J.B., there goes another damn keyboard!

I think I took pictures of this knife, along with another knife at Blade. I could be wrong, but I will check to see what pics I took.

Gotta agree with Nick and Wulf!
Really like the stripe left in the handle adds to the flowing lines of the entire piece!

I was mistaken; the pics I took are of similar knives from Steve Dunn. I will post those separately in a different thread soon. :footinmou

That is beautiful work for sure! I'd love to see a close up shot of that guard, it looks amazing.

Cos there's no other way I can stop the drooling. Man, oh man. The lines and definition on that... Jason.
