Here's a commemorative Bowie of the show that I will be donating to the ABS at the show. The proceeds from the sale of it will go 100% toward the tuition for an Intro to Bladesmithing class at The Moran School for a deserving youth(s).
You will be able to view the knife on the ABS table at the show. I have left the terms of the sale completely up to the ABS board but that should be determined at the show.
Whomever purchases this knife will not only be getting a nice remembrance of the inaugural show but helping a youth to get a start in this business that we all love.

Just a little more 'heat':
A Gidgee Fighter. Single Twist, stainless take-down hardware and a spectacular chunk of Ringed Gidgee.
This is also the second knife I've made with my old pin assembly that I have not used for maybe 5 years.
(As a side note - my Damascus is hot-blued. These pictures are taken outside on a crystal clear blue-sky day and the sky is reflected in the 15N20. I like the way it looks in the photo. But that's just me.)

Great stuff showing up on this thread! Looking forward to the show!
Just a heads up for those driving in Thursday, especially from the east. The Denver Broncos and K.C. Chiefs have a Thursday night football game at Arrowhead. Traffic will really be backed up on I-70 east & west Thursday afternoon, evening.
Even coming up from the south on I-435 to I-70 will be slow close to game time.
Good excuse to arrive early.

Good idea. I plan on being there early enough to go to the reception Thursday evening so I can get a good look at the knives since I will be behind a table for the show and may not get the chance to see everyone's work.
Kevin--Thanks. It's appreciated.

Karl, the fighter is really nice if the blade has near the shimmer in person as it does in the photos its a for sure hit.
The crow factor looks way high. "Make it shinny they will pick it up"

Plain bowie, W2, damascus fittings & fossil walrus. With plain Paul Long sheath. Plain probably not the right word?
