Walrus/Damascus Bowie-Buddy Thomason photo-Paul Long sheath

[John White]

Here's one with a couple twists.

The 8 3/4 inch Damascus blade is 4-bars of twist, each bar consisting of a 9-bar; eight 1/2 x1/2 inch, 22 layer randoms surrounding a central "core" bar of 1/2x1/2 "W."

The guard, finial, and sheath stud are carved from "W" pattern twists.

The knife was inspired by that spectacular piece of chocolate Walrus I got from Mark Knapp.

Paul made the "Diamond" sheath, with brown Alligator inserts accenting the black body.

Finally, Buddy shot this dramatic photo, the first, but definitely not the last he's done for me.

Hope ya'll like it.

As you see , my buddy, John even took this one a step further with the extra handle pins cleverly hidden under the finial of the take down tool on this bowie.
This kid from Florida is going to get really good one of these days. You can drool over this one in Arkansas (except for Roger!)
