Description

One of two practice pieces that I have been messing with in my spare time. As you know, my weakest point in knife making is hidden tang knives. Right next to folding knives. :D However, to become a Master Smith in the ABS you pretty much have to make hidden tang knives for the test. Which forces me to make these knives that I honestly wasn't planning on making very many of. They are fun to do every now and then, don't get me wrong. It isn't my style though. Now I have to do it so much that I'm flawless at them. Like that will ever happen! lol

I have a hunting knife that is the other practice piece. I'll be showing you that one soon.

Ohhh and I will be getting a good picture of the Persian dagger soon. I think in a few days actually. I'll have to check in with them and see. It will be without the etching and might actually show just how awesome that knife really was. I'm crossing my fingers.

The all American Bowie knife. It seems it is a rite of passage for Knifesmiths and bladesmiths alike; as well it should be. This is a fine example of the quintessential American knife. The artisan has shown his love for the exotic with the Damascus and the uniquely "stepped" handle style but balances the exotic with the minimalist style of the Bowie. It's overall shape is simple and elegant; many Bowies seems to be overworked and garish; not so this knife; no bloodgroove, no grind line, no brass spine. Very simple and clean. The handle's unique design is interesting and eye-catching but still maintains a functionality about it. The handle material gives a nod to the old world along with the brass guard. Yes this knife is a flawless, modern take on vintage styles and classic materials; a knife to be admired on your hip in the back country or in your display case at home.
