Hi Folks,

These are a couple bowies that I posted some weeks back. I have since received the pro shots and thought I might share them again. Hope you like them.

The first is a clamshell guard bowie with bold Turkish twist damascus and African Blackwood

This English-style knife sports mosaic damascus and Wooly Mammoth ivory, and was delivered to the Little Rock show.

These montage photos are well worth the little extra you pay. Gives the potential customer almost a 3-D feel and shows off that hard work you put into the fine little things. Both of these photographers are top notch in my book. I just want to know when they're going to start offering revolving holographic images for the web. That would be cool.

Cheers,

Terry

I'm more than glad for the second look - the photography here no doubt does them fair justice. :thumbup: Very nice work Terry.

Very nice Terry.
Really like your use of the damascus escutcheons.
Some fine ivory on the second.
The sculptured guards really add to the overall as well.
 
Those are smokin', Terry.
I don't know how I missed these the first time around.
That mammoth is very unique looking but the Turkish/Blackwood combo just speaks to me.
I really like your filework treatment at the start of the swedge.

Beautiful knives!
 
Me like...me like a lot....a whole lot.:thumbup::cool:

Seriously both knives are great looking but, although it sports a wood handle, I like the first one the best.

That Blackwood handled knife has so many things that I love. I love the overall proportions, the handle, the guard, the blade, the hardware and the steel. I guess that means I love everything about it.

Coop did his usual outstanding job off showing the knife in its best light. Great job Coop.

We don't want to forget that Chuck Ward did one of the shots, too. Didn't know if I made that clear initially. Both photographers did great jobs and I was very pleased.:thumbup:

Cheers,

Very nice work!

I especially like the second one.

I got to handle these at the AKA show two weeks ago and I loved them!

Great work, thanks for posting them.
 
Absolutely worthy of another look Terry!The fine images only enhance the beauty of your fine work!
 
Terry, both knives are exquisite and I'm sorry I was unable to handle them. You are doing some extraordinary knives.
