The drawing looks a little wonky because I went back over my pencil sketch with a fine point marker, and the marker bled A LOT. The lines will actually be smooth! ;)

So it's NOT going to have serrations? :confused:;)

that's damn impressive forging.
 
Thanks for kicking up some excitement Joe. These "Projects" are awe inspiring.

Great way to start a New Year and I hope there's lots of pictures.

Thanks Mitch

I will see what I can do about some progress pics but Nick has a lot of work on his plate right now and a big show coming up so we will see
 
If there is a slot available I am IN, IN, IN!!!

Love that blade and I don't own a Wheeler yet (a Nick Wheeler that is).
 
That's a wrap folks

Just over 3 hrs :)

Nick and I humbly tip our hats to all of you

I will keep posting new pics and info as such are made available

When the Proto arrives I will do an intro video detailing why this knife will do its purpose so well

Thank you all again and get ready to see Hades Bowie knife come to life :)

Oh CR@P!! Another great project! One of my favorite makers, favorite steels & of course favorite 'promoters of fine steel'!!

Add me to the list please.... Not sure how I'm going to pay, but hopefully I can get on the list!
 
That's awesome. I've had my eye on one of Nick's fighting bowies since he posted his damascus and amboina piece a couple of years ago. I'll be following this project closely.

Man... you guys are the best! The response has been overwhelming--- in an awesome way! :thumbup: :cool:

Joe and I have kicked around the idea of doing another project since shortly after the first one wound down, but I just couldn't seem to get my ducks to align, er, I mean my stars in a row... Damn it, nevermind. ;) :D

It finally became clear to me that it was one of those things where, if you wait until you're "ready," you'll never do it.

Like Joe said- I have a LOT on my plate right now... But fortunately I get up, work-out, eat, work, eat, work, work-out, work, eat, and work, lather-rinse-repeat.... So I have allotted some time for work in my daily routine. ;) :)


I'll do my best to add some stuff for visual interest as I can. :)



Thank you guys!!! :)
 
Alas guys the run sold out in under 3 1/2 hrs

I wish there were more :(

Thank you all for the huge interest
