Rick has developed a style all his own and these are wonderful examples of it. They will make a great addition to any collection. Well done!

All my best,
Gary
 
Hello!

Congratulations - a wonderful set! Love the new Lorien/Rick piece in particular!

Best regards,
Alex
 
Great scores Dudley. Rick is a super nice guy as well. I meet him last year at blade. I got to chat with him only briefly this year.

Thanks for sharing

This was a really neat project, hopefully the first of many with Rick:)

I passed it by Dudley and Rick, and they're cool with my posting. In fact, apparently Rick has some in progress photos to share as well and I really hope to see em.

So, here's the original pattern. It's based loosely on a knife made to my design by Tad Lynch.



Rick wanted to change a couple of things, and the results were excellent.





here's Coop's brilliant pic;

 
Looks like a double tap, Lorien.

Thanks for posting this, Dudley! It was a pleasure talking with you at the show and I can't help but love the fact that both of these Bowies are in the same collection.

I do have more pics but they need to be edited for the forums and I am stuck with my wife's iMac... which I find difficult to operate.:o
 
Lorien

I do not usually care for D guards but there is sometching very appealing about this knife

Good job

I wonder what you'll think of the next D guard I've got in the works...
 
Rick does all right, though the sasquatch musk that clings to his person is a bit much to deal with.

Someday he'll start making man-sized blades, I'm sure. :D



In all seriousness, getting to actually handle his work is one of the highlights of going to Blade. That, and the chocolate milk or coffee he buys me. :cool:

Rick, the recurve you added is what really makes the design pop, I feel.
 
You know, I'm not a big fan of Rick's aesthetic. But...I love that he followed his muse and created a style all his own. His knives are instantly recognizable.

That Musso rendition is incredible. It looks like a nasty piece of work. I'd love (hate?) to see it in the hands of someone who knew how to use a fighting bowie.
 
Both very nice! I spent about 15-20 min. going over that D-guard in the Waverly lobby one evening at BLADE and examined it again on Sunday while assisting Coop in shooting it. I was sorely tempted as it is so well done all around - just too busy at the show to do anything about it. Still impressed by it a couple of weeks later, I emailed my compliments to Rick and Lorien. Rick mentioned it was available and clearly I was too slow on the trigger to snag it. Good on ya, Dawkind! I handled many excellent knives at BLADE with much higher price tags and very few had the juice evident in this one.
