Ed has managed to push 52100 even farther than he did just a short time ago in this example of his craftmanship.

:eek: That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does the man forge the steal or does the steal forge the man? Ed's knives are like no other. He has poured a lifetime into his Craft/Art and just when you think it can't get any better............ Thanks for a needed Fowler fix!

Beautiful knife! I love the blade shape and quench line. Thank you for sharing.
 
That would have to rank up there with my favorite Fowler knives. Congrats!

Ed is a class act and he makes some great knives. I prefer a more classic bowie style, but I would never turn down the chance to own one made by Ed.
 
Droooool! It is a lifetime goal to own one of his knives one day. Since a little of the maker gets forged in with his blades, you get an excellent knife with a piece of great guy forged right in. I met Ed at a show many years ago, and he was one of the all time nicest guys to talk with. And holding a Pronghorn is unexplainable, it literally melted into my hand like it was an extension of it.
 
I gotta agree with you guys about Ed and his Knives. I'll try and get a better photo next time.

Mckgreg,
Thanks for posting a picture of it, it's a beautiful knife. I have to agree with tknife, Ed's knives are perfectly shaped to the human hand. The perfect mixture of function, nature, and art.

JUST BE CAREFUL, his knives cast a spell on you, the more you think about them.

I hope Ed doesn't take it too personally, when I say this, but I am only so-so in my feelings about his small hunters with the big ole sheephorn handles. I like them, but am not in love with them, as they seem a little out of proportion to me, sizewise. Just my personal opinion, so please don't beat me up too much about it. :) This knife, however, really floats my boat. I love everything about it(all except for the part where I will never have enough money to afford it).
 
Although I have not yet held a Fowler pronghorn in my hands, I have a vision of how it feels to have one.

I believe it is the personification of the creator himself. So much creativity, thought and hardwork have gone into it that it can't be anything but near perfection.

The Excalibur, I believe, would only be the next step. :) ;)
 
Greg,

Wow, what a beauty! Nice horn and I love that blade shape, what's the length? I'm still not sure whether it's the horn, the steel or the contours that Ed gives his knives that I like more. That "bleeder" style clip is better admired in three dimensions. It gives the point a nice profile but it's hard to see at that angle. Bring it to the Blade show! :D

The blade length is just a tad under 6" and the overall is just under 11". This knife has quite a story behind it that makes it very special to this particular knifer. The visible grain structure is different from what Ed was accomplishing just a short while back. He continues to work 52100 to unprecedented levels.

Well, the story is like this. Wait !! That is highly classified information !!
I guess I could tell you but, I would be bound by duty to terminate the recipient of this information.
