Hey everyone!

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted a knife. I’m going to start posting more on here again. Here’s one I just finished up for a customer,

It has a 9 1/2 inch blade and it’s forged from 1080 and 15N20 in a Tight Mosaic, four bar Twist Damascus Pattern. The handle is premium blue/cream colored Mammoth Ivory. The customer supplied the mammoth and it was/is a nice looking set! The fittings are of the same damascus pattern as the blade and they have 18 karat green gold inlays. The fittings have also been gun blued. The liners are made of German Silver and have been coined with forty lines per inch. The guard is oval with coining and round grooves around its profile. I made the sheath too and it has a Diamondback Rattlesnake skin overlay.

I would like to thank my brother Caleb for his great work on the photo.

Let me know what you all think.

I would also like to thank the collector who commissioned this piece. Without the collectors us knifemakers would have a hard time selling our works. Thanks!
 
Well, that is a special piece! Some one is going to be very happy with their decision!
 
Kyle,

That's what a Western Bowie should look like! Love that blade and the double clip.

Kyle This knife is breathtaking! Your customer must be over the moon........:)

Please can you tell us a little about the handle construction? It looks like a Mortice tang with the blued steel and gold acting like liners for the mammoth........Very spectacular and unusual. I would love to hear more about this.

Thanks mate........Steven
 
EXCEPTIONALLY nice work Kyle! I like everything about that bowie. That mammoth is about as good as it gets and the profile is perfect, both blade and handle.

WELL done!

That is nothing short of spectacular! Straight into the Best Bowie 2011 file.

Just a beautiful piece, Kyle. I'm anxious to see what you bring to Branson in a couple of weeks. :thumbup: You just continue to produce amazing pieces. Well done!

That is the best shaped Sheffield clip style Bowie blade I can remember seeing

The fancy stuff is really nice too :)

Great knife and pic
 
Kyle, you've been quiet lately and Caleb's photo tells me why. Beautiful steel and blade shape!! Overall just a stunning package.
