That's what JP calls it; "That little art bowie I made." This knife won the BR Hughes award a couple of years ago; a prestigious ABS award given annually at the BLADE Show for the best mastersmith test knife.
A lot of folks have seen it. Point Seven photographed it, and I think Chuck Ward did too. Plus John has displayed it at shows (most recently in Reno). We danced around about it from the very beginning and I finally talked him out of it, but not without first giving a solemn oath: Should I ever decide to sell it, John and his family have absolute first right of refusal. He declared that his wife (Carrie - lovely person) "says it's the best knife I've ever made." If you've ever seen John's knives you know that would be a tough call! They're all great.
This is the first of what I'm sure will be repeated attempts by me to digitaly capture the essence of John's "Little Art Bowie." I'll post the specs asap.
