  1. Right side view of my 3 Damascus Bowies. I made the bottom Bowie in 2008 and it was the first Damascus made on my Striker STC-88 air hammer. The big Bowie in the middle was the first Damascus steel I'd made in about 11 years.
  2. These are 3 Damascus Bowie's I've made. The top knife was made in 92 and was my first flawless Damascus steel.
  3. My Bowies butt-caps
  4. My latest knives. The big camp knife is my son's grad present, and the middle hunter and skinner I'm keeping.
  5. A little Damascus hunter I made for a guy in Ontario.
  6. These are pictures of my recently completed scrap knife, my skinner hunter set and my son Connor's graduation present camp knife. This is a little Damascus hunter I made for a guy in Ontario. I suck at photography.
  7. Terrible news. Then World is a much poorer place with his passing.
  8. Here's my test. Photo 3 This is a 6.5" thick dried hemlock log which is super hard stuff. I chopped through it with this Bowie that I mad a few years back and it could still easily shave hair after. I have chopped down trees a foot thick with my knives, why not. Photo 1 Here's another knife and another 6" thick log, this one dried fir. I chopped a dead dry alder down with the same knife minutes before this. The knife shaved no problem after cutting both logs. Photo 2 This is my version of the ABS 90% vise bend. That 52100 is tough stuff. Here's the rope cut video. It's a free hanging 1.5" thick Manila braid tug boat line, and it's a lot harder to cut through than hemp.
  9. I bought a new 88 lb. Striker air hammer, so I had to make some more Damascus steel. Here are some pics of the process and the 10" blade Bowie knife I forged from half of the 336 layer ladder pattern bar. /
