Greetings all,
KNIFE IS NOW SOLD.
Fighters and bowies by this top maker don't crop up in the secondary market very often. Even his exceptionally nice hunters are hard to come by. Grab this one before I come to my senses.
This fighter features a 6 1/2" blade, with an overall length of 11 1/8". The damascus blade is complemented by a damascus double guard and butt cap, accented by silver spacers. The handle is African blackwood.
The blade features a bold damascus pattern with an interesting background. As Kevin explained: "The blade is made from O1/L6 but is from a bar the I made a pattern welded sword from, thus the edge wrap around a two bar twisted core."
The knife has a terrific feel in hand - a nice heft, but still quick like a fighter should be. It also sports an edge that is deep into the "scary sharp" zone. Fit and finish are utterly beyond reproach.
Matching custom sheath by maker - a sole authorship package all around.
Here is a closer look at the guard. Note how the wood is radiused where it meets the guard - much harder to execute this than a flush fit and much better to offset any possible shrinkage (of which there has been none, by the way - wood doesn't come much more dense and naturally stable than this stuff).
And da butt:
Price is US$1,100 inclusive of shipping (CONUS & Canada) and Paypal (preferred). Payment may also be made via US International Postal Money Order (the pink ones).
E-mails answered morning and evening, PMs any time. First "I'll take it!" by either method gets this rare bird.
Roger
