Hey All,
I'm listing this one for a friend of mine who has hit a rough spot. The knife has never been used or carried and comes with the card and case I provided. The knife is less than a year old and it would take me that long to make another. Have a look.

This Spear Point Bowie is based on a collaboration of Bill's designs. The blade is 9" forged from 5160 steel with a hand-rubbed finish, scalloped choil and top swedge. The guard and threaded pommel are nickle-silver with file work accents. The handle is Curly Maple with a throat of Hippo Ivory and a nickle-silver spacer. The handle is inlaid with silver wire in a "dragon" motif on both sides. The knife is 14 1/4" overall and comes with a tooled leather blade sheath has a "dragon" carving matching Bill's design.
Details below...
 
Wow Im pretty sure I like that better then anything else I have seen made by you, although I really like all your work.

great job
 
WOW J. What can I say excellent as always! And the sheath and handle inlay looks great together!
How long does it take you to make a piece like this?
 
Thanks guys. Jim, I honestly don't have the foggiest idea. Shop time seem like a time warp sometimes. Some aspects go quickly and some seem to take almost forever.
 
OK, my assumtion and my mistake. The gentleman has put a price tag of $800.00 on this piece that includes shipping in the CONUS and an extra "plain-er" utility sheath Tess made for this piece.

Sorry 'bout that.
J.
