Three for Little Rock

[tvandeventer]

Last minute photos of three bowies for this weekend's show. The first is a W2 fighter with blued, coined damascus guard & three spacers, and a blue mild steel interframe. Pure nickel separates the spacers for a little contrast. The scales are Steller's Sea Cow bone.

This is an English style bowie with damascus fittings and fileworked nickel silver spacer. It's a damascus interframe lined with fileworked n/s. The scales are Wooly Mammoth ivory. This piece is a delivery.

Following is a boldly patterned bowie with a shell guard and African Blackwood scales. Because of the low layer count in the twists, the spine of the knife and the matching interframe show some pretty dramatic stars. The interframe is an extra piece of twist that I did not incorporate into the Turkish twist blade billet. I held it back and forged it into a hair pin shape. Then I flattenned it and it became the interframe. As a result, the stars go all the way around the handle.

Hope to see some of you there!

Cheers,

Terrry

Damn, Terry! You got some major mojo.

 

[Kevin Jones]

All outstanding, however the second really does it for me. That's some ivory.

All three are appealing without doubt, but I keep coming back to that first piece - so clean and crisp and RIGHT in ever way.

All look excellent but I mostly like the English bowie. I'm sure the new owner will be quite happy to get it.

[Jon Brand]

Those are gorgeous Terry

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Yep, they're all very nice. Can't really say that I have a favorite. Each knife has it's own features that I find appealing.

 

[Burton Harruff]

Very nice!

 

[SBranson]

These are some really fine pieces. They all share something but yet are very different, each with it's own appeal. I find myself liking each one more than the others then find that the one I like best is just the one I'm looking at at the time.
I really like the guard work.. fantastic.
In some ways if there was some way to combine all three into some uber-knife then I could stop scrolling up and down up and down...
