Here's one that was headed to Kansas City but not now since I had to back out. <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//sad.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> Anyway, thought I'd show this here as I haven't posted much here lately.

Hand Forged from W2 steel

12 1/2" overall, 7 1/2" blade, .215" at the ricasso

Full distal taper, clip is just shy of sharp

Heavily rounded spine and ricasso edge

Black g-10 fittings

Damascus spacer and Bolt cover

Stabilized carved and sculpted Koa handle

All comments and discussion welcome.

Very nice! Clean as it gets. That is one aspect of your knives I always enjoy. Thanks for showing it.

What a beautiful Bowie, clean precise workmanship. Stunning, it's a shame that you couldn't make it to the show.
