Well I'll be Damned Peter,You snagged Two Exceptional Harvey Dean Damascus Bowies in a short time-The Force is Definately with You my friend.Acually you had to wait awhile for the S.W. bowie didn't you? Even so,it looks like it was worth the wait.

Got Wood??!

 

[SharpByCoop]

Ahhh, you slimey dog. Someone points out a piece and asks about value and you go ahead and snipe it out from under them....











....just like I would have done! :thumbup:

I have more than my share of good pieces that the good folks of eBay made available. Congrats on such a GREAT knife with the never-failing appeal of presentation walnut.

(I have no idea if you sniped it or not. If you didn't, you need to play harder. )

Joss,

I think that Nick would prefer the blade to read Wheeler, instead of Dean.

Manassas VA, was site of the first major battle of the American Civil War.

The South called the battle, Manassas, and the North called it Bull Run.
The D Guard Bowie was the favorite style of the Confederate soldiers throughout the war.
Hence, Manassas Bowie.

Boy do I love D-guard bowies, and no one does them better than Harvey Dean.

 

[Danbo]

Pete, you've got the Motherload of bowies there.

 

[HTMD]

Fantastic blade and score! From what I can tell very few bladesmiths have earned the level of respect Harvey Dean enjoys from his peers. Thanks for sharing the "Manassas Bowie" with the rest of us!

I will enlighten you. MAN ASSAS bowie sounds like MAN ASSES when you say it. I would not own a bowie called Man Asses, but Bull Run, for sure, no problem.

Nick you can correct me if I am wrong here, but I don't think so.

Best Regards,

LOL. I think the proper pronunciation is MA NAS SAS.

 

[Don Hanson III]

I don't care what ya call it. That's a BAD-ASS bowie


LOL MAN-ASSAS

DH

 

[primos]

It's not pronounced ( man' asses ).
It's more like ( meh - nass' - ess ), or in some areas of the South it would be pronounced ( muh - nass' - us ).

 

[Danbo]

Whatever you call it, it's lovely!
