Latest Bowie
Almost forgot to post this...I've been too busy making stuff to brag about stuff. This is a bragger, though. I love Bowies, especially the elegant "City Bowies" like the Searles. One of my first knives, years ago, was a version of this. So, for the centerpiece on my table at the January Beinfeld show in Las Vegas at the Riviera, I revisited the Searles Bowie. Pure early 1800s, with pin-decorated ebony grip, nickle silver furniture and 5160 mirror-polished blade. (Does anyone know if the original was made by a surgical instrument maker? Surgeon's tools had this style handle at that time.) Not shown is the Nickle tipped and throated black leather scabbard. What say ye, fellow metal-wallopers? Voltaire do good? __________________ Charles D. Prokopp NT Neo_Devo Limpin' Cat Prokopp "Deo erexit Voltaire" |

Ya did reeeeal good, Charles. Great detail in craving the handle. I generally don't like the bowie patterns out there but that one is one of the good ones. Sort of the non-bowie bowie.
