Haven't posted anything in a while so here's one of 5 knives going to BLADE next week with a 10-1/2" second amendment theme damascus bowie blade, with blade and handle shapes of the antique Michael Price style.
Blade damascus has a "Newts Wootz" core with 9mm hand guns and Ar15 rifles plugged into the woots core and surrounded by tight Turkish twist bars of 1095 & 15N20. The first blade went to the trash can but this second blade survived the unorthodox forging techniques. The guard and finial knob is of single twist damascus. The handle is 6 bar Turkish twist with side panels of check free, core mammoth ivory attached with 6 fine silver pins. The knife is of takedown construction. And of course it comes with a Paul Long inlayed sheath. Thanks for the great photo Chuck.
The two phrases in the core read: "Right to keep and bear arms" & "Just try to take them!"
Thanks for looking.

I think this is the most uniform Turkish twist I've seen on a knife this big. I am SO looking forward to seeing this one in person. Great work!
