About this custom order Jerry said:
"He could not afford gold or deep relief
engraving. So it was a smaller budget but I still gave him
more than he paid for.
He does good things for other people often that we see
with no thought of return to himself and I thought it should be revisited
back on him.''

16 1/2 inches OAL, Blade is 10 inches plus a one inch ricasso, handle is 5 1/2 inches. Jerry will have to comment on the various materials. Handle wood looks like some of that Geo. Washington planted Horse Chestnut tree. Jerry's engraving. There is some gold and the spacers are heat colored iron. Single back bevel adds to the overall statement.

A beautiful knife.... marked NLT.

It is a beauty!

Great handle material, and I like the engraving on both sides of the guard!

Very nice image too.

Yep, Jerry is extremely talented and one of the most generous people I know.
This is my current favorite of his Damascus patterns.
 
I honestly thought I would never have a grail, but I think Mr. Fisk has made a liar of me. Tremendously impressed every time I see his work and more and more determined to one day own a custom Sendero.
 
Really nice bowie! I think those spacers are either heat colored steel or titanium...doesn't look like gun blued to me:cool:
 
Simply beautiful.

Stunning - this seems to be a Mr. Fisk trait.

What a very nice gesture as well.

Kudos.
 
Thanks y'all. And by the way, the fish were biting really well.
However towing a large stringer of big catfish with a kayak, crossing a wide river while having to stop and adjust for the waves of the 200 hp boats going up and down the river in heavy gator populalated waters was exciting each morning. Man, we have lots of gators here.

Anyway, the wood is from the George Washington planted "Witness Tree". The spacers on each side of the ferrule are heat colored pieces of iron from a revolutionary war gun lock from a gun that belonged to the owners family as well as I was able to forge down a small piece of it to insert into his Damascus blade that had the Trail of Tears pattern.
 
A life well spent in the pursuit and achievement of excellence. Beautiful knife. A lot of lessons in this one.
