One of my favorite bowies, from one of the nicest and most talented ABS Mastersmiths(deceased now), Donald G. Lange.
This bowie has an 11" blade of ladder pattern damascus consisting of W2 and N203E, but I am unsure of how many layers. All fittings; guard, collar and buttcap are also damascus. Big honkin, round chunk of stag for the handle. Typical Lange fit and finish; meaning that you really cannot note anything one would consider a flaw. Grinds are as good as can be, press fit guard is nice and tight, etc...
My wife has instructions to lay this across my chest in my coffin when I die.
