Everything about this knife is fantastic. Beautiful work.

Caleb, your images are always so clear and dramatic. I love the dark tones and backgrounds.
 
A beautiful Damascus bowie blade with a Michael Price handle. Now there's nothing not to love about that. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all of the kind compliments!!


Mark,
I had this knife at the Blade Show. It is sold and going out of country. The owner will be coming to the USA in January and will pick the knife up then.

I asked Paul Long to make the sheath for this knife. Paul chose to do a beautiful shark skin overlay. The color of the leather goes perfectly with the handle material. Great work Paul!

The knife and sheath had never been photographed together and I wanted a professional photo for the knife's new owner. Caleb did a photography demo at the Heartland Bladesmithing Symposium, last October. I had him shoot the knife and sheath there.

I am extremely impressed with Caleb's photo of this knife. That he was able to create such a great image from a photo shot at a hammer-in, shows the skill that he has. Thanks Caleb!! :thumbup:
 
I like Mr Culver's stuff a lot, well, actually, to be specific I like THIS one a lot, its his Chisholm Trail Bowie... looks pretty much perfect to me!

Actually, I'm a huge Steve Culver fan! I've seen so many examples of flawless work on his table over the years that he secured his place among my favorite craftsmen LONG AGO...not only a top-tier maker, but also one of the kindest, most pleasant human beings I've ever had the pleasure to call a friend:) Beautiful work by all involved fellas, another home run all around:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
