Here is a great piece that belongs to a lucky collector who was kind enough to send me some pics

It features a steel guard and a blade of Bills Satins lace (cable damascus)

Congrats on a rare and truly unique piece

Another home run.
Congrats to the lucky owner.

FWIW, other makers could take a cue from Mr. Bagwell's blade mark.
Simple, recognizable, classy and it doesn't make the knife look like a delivery truck.

Sorry for the off topic rant :)

Very true
 
Mr. Bagwell's art is a national treasure IMO. I have said it before but I really hope he is teaching some people his art. A disciple of some type like a "uchi deshi" in the old Japanese sword smith way.

Here is a article about a American who traveled to Japan to learn, I hope Mr. Bagwell has some apprentices who are learning from him. His Bowie's may be the best that have ever been made.
