I can post this one but cannot figure out why the hunter will not post. argg Anyway finally got the photo of this bowie. I had been asked to make one with historical materials to be displayed at the presidential inauguration this January. George Washington planted Horse Chestnut, steels from World Trade Center and bombing of Pearl Harbor with a bridge pattern. 24kt gold. I hope I am through with the really nice one by January. I got a lot of months yet to go on it. Hope you like it. It tested out fine, chopped some 2x4's with it, shaved a mouse without waking him up, ok, maybe not that last one.

Oh man oh man, absolutely incredible. George Washington planted Horse Chestnut, steels from World Trade Center and bombing of Pearl Harbor with a bridge pattern. 24kt gold. How much more of the Chestnut do you have?

I agree with Hunting Texas, that is absolutely gorgeous.

You know the old saying "you can learn something new every day" Well this was it for me today, Artistic vision in a Bowie knife. Thanks for posting the pics I look forward to more of your (and the other knife makers) work.

Thanks guys. Hunting, I have several more pieces. I can tell you that a single piece of it cost me more than some full size tusk so really stretched it.

Dang, that's fancy! Beautiful pattern on that Damascus! And the wood and....EVERYTHING! Lol, I don't see how you can have months left to go on it? Looks like you've done it all, already. Very, very nice, Mr. Fisk!
Mmmm Hmmm

Mr Fisk the hits just keep on coming. All I can say is I hope Hillary isn't the one at the presidential inauguration this January that get's this beautiful Knife .If that did come to pass it would be like Beauty & the Hideous Beast.
