This was a great project to work on. A cross was erected at the Shanksville Fire dept. in Pa. where flight 93 was brought down using a beam from the World Trade Center tower 1. Donald Ziolkowlski is a Sheriff's Officer who escorted on one of the rides to dedicate the steel. In Don's words "I think the story of the design (Bowie), reflects an American patriot (our heritage) and of course the composition of the knife reflects heroism of today, inc; families living with the tragedy as well as the police, firefighters, and troops who give all for our way of life. The knife is symbolic of the American Spirit. "
Group of Police and Firemen motorcycle riders in front of Memorial in Shanksville Pa. Flight 93 crash site. Fire Dept. NY Commissioned Engine "343" dedicated to the 343 New York City firemen who perished on 09-11-01.

The blade was made using a cutoff of the beam. It was made into Damascus so it could hold a good edge and defend America. Here are pictures of the memorial etc.




 
Here are some other pictures of the knifeas it came along. The last picture in the first thread is just the pc of beam forged out.



 
Agreed that is a beauty Dan,whoever gets that one will have a knife with history and a very meaningful piece:thumbup::thumbup:Regards Butch
 
I guess I did not make it clear that the knife is for Donald Ziolkowlski who is a Sheriff's Officer who escorted on one of the rides to dedicate the steel for flight 93.
