Well, having just bought myself a nice watch, just in case I have another bad month business-wise, crap, it’s been a bad year at this point, I feel like I should have some funds in place if things don't go well, so, on the block is a very sweet Bradshaw (MS) bowie, another one I never thought I would ever sell.
This is a very special bowie, I have gotten a lot of compliments on this piece. It is absolutely dead mint and flawless in every respect.
Medium sized bowie at 5.5", it has a very unusual 2-part, double ground, unsharpened top clip, I think you can see in the pics how the clip has 2 separate planes/parts to it and is pretty complex and neat.
The blade of this bowie happens to be very unusual and amazing, it is forged from some of the coolest, wildest damascus I've ever seen, Bailey calls it: "Jelly Roll", and it is just so finely layered, with unreal detail and wild patterns, and, it is extremely Chatoyant, in that when the light hits it, the blade shimmers so much, it's like a bizarre and dazzling optical illusion, like a spinning laser etched hologram, if you've ever seen one of those, it seems to sort of move and undulate as the light bounces on and off it, has to be seen in person to see this visual effect, but you'll have to trust me, this is really some of the neatest damascus you'll ever see or own.
The guard is also damascus, as is the buttcap, which has a heat blued finial screw, which can be removed, to take the bowie down/apart for cleaning etc.
The handle is some very choice Thuya Burl, with a lot of sculpting and it really contours to fit the hand. Just a beautiful handle to compliment that great blade.
I’m going to price this at what I believe I paid for it about 2 years ago, SPF!!! shipped, insured, Priority mail. This is really a special knife folks, but a lot of what makes this knife so amazing and unusual, like that unreal Damascus and how it shimmers so wildly, doesn’t show in a picture unfortunately, so, if you don’t love it to death like I do when you see it in person, just send it back for an immediate, full refund, including shipping both ways, I’m very confident though, that won’t happen.
First to email and say they’ll take it gets it.
I can take PayPal on this If you don’t mind splitting the fees, a check will have to clear prior to shipping, unless I know you very well. Postal money orders are always best though.
My Email is: mammothivory2000@yahoo.com if you have any questions.
Thanks for looking,
