That knife is, I think, marked with a DJP which is ABS Mastersmith Dan J. Petersen. This bowie was forged out of a 1" round bar of W2 tool-steel. I've had several and he's a good friend of mine who lives a few blocks away. He's been showing me the ins and outs of knife making for over 10 years and he's one of the best bladesmiths in the world!

You have a very nice example of his work. Take care, Dudley

That`s some mirror finish on that blade, Dudley! I can count the holes in your ceiling tiles! Nice!
 
I'm eating my words!!! Joel informed me that his tang is stamped J.P.Miller and I'm sorry for spouting-off with my 'half-vast knowledge'

I do think Mr. Miller passed away but please tell me otherwise.....Sorry for any trouble or bad feelings that I may have caused, Dudley
