No damascus on this one. I don't do many pieces in single steel. This is a small bowie for an order. The blade is 7" of W2. Total length is 12".

The fittings are nickel silver & 416 stainless, and the scales are African Blackwood. The sheath sports Nile Croc inlays.

The fellow wants this blade for use while hiking and camping, thus the near lack of embelishments. I told him I'd do my best but I couldn't guarantee it. Just GOTTA add a little fancy! ;)

Clean as they get, as always, and your in the running for "coolest" makers mark.
 
Terry,

That is just about as slick as they come. Very nice piece indeed.

Somebody is gonna be a happy camper.

Fantastic looking small Bowie and sheath.
Looks ready to rock, just lovely.

This is as near a perfect bowie as I've seen. I'll bet he enjoys it allot but I hate to see the first scratch on that blade.
 
That's a nice looking bowie and sheath. I'd be happy with that on my belt too!
 
Like walking out of a stuffy room, this one is a shot of cool air.

What a knife!!!

Just saw this absolutely immaculate puppy over on the CKCA forum, and had to run over here to comment also. This is beautiful, Terry. So clean!

Another absolute beauty indeed! The knife is exceptional and the sheath is equally nice.

Hope he doesn't light his cigs with a $3k DuPont! That knife is VERY nice, as is the sheath; wouldn't mind having it in my display case. I couldn't imagine using that on brush.
 
I can't think of another knife you've made that has had a bigger impression on me.

Wonderful.. There's so much detail and expressed skill in the lack of adornments that is so pleasing to the eye. What adornments that are there lend a subtle touch of luxury. Such clean surfaces, immaculate planes... I like what Coop said.." a shot of cool air"
That it is destined for use... there would be satisfaction in every moment.
 
Wow Terry, this one is gorgeous! Let me know if he doesn't absolutely love it :D
 
love the file work spacers, really adds a classy flair to the piece...and the inserts on your sheath work is great!
 
Terry,

That's as clean as it gets. Just beautiful! I would love to get a chance to see you at work sometime.

Are you going to Steve Culver's in Oct.?
