• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

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.
