Thanks guy's.

Here is one I just finished up for our local VA banquet, a military ball in May. I donated one half of what ever it brings on their live auction that evening. I believe this is the first ball they have put on. Being a Vet myself, I think it is a good cause. The blade is forged 1080 with a G 10 camo type handle and a black leather sheath with tie downs. The blade is my copy of a Western W-31 parachutist knife made in the late 1940's. Terry

Knife and sheath very good looking. Very purposeful.

[sunknife]

Very nice indeed. Hope it gets some good money for the cause, should provide the winner with years of use and enjoyment.

[doglegg]

I would say exceptional, but actually just typical of your fine work. Great knife and a great cause.

[Ivoryman]

Picked up this large Bowie made by Dan Graves,

[kootenay joe]

Very special Dan Graves Damascus Bowie. He rarely makes big knives, most have about 4" blade. This one is a show stopper !

[JohnR]

Thank you KJ, blade is almost 10". feel pretty lucky to get it, very well made.

[Quick Steel]

Very elegant; very refined. A knockout in every way. Wow factor of 10!

[doglegg]

Bowie and antler and Damascus, I think I just over dosed. Beautiful.

Armadillo hide...we call them Texas speed bumps. But it sure looks good on that knife.

kj, Here are some more photos. Had difficulty getting a good shot of the hamon.

[kootenay joe]

Thanks QS. Is the third pic down showing part of scabbard ?
kj

[Quick Steel]

Yes, it is the top part of the scabbard. The blade is within; the circular guard with handle are locked in the sheath. Pushing a very small fixture beneath the handle near the guard releases the lock for easy removal. The following photo is of the sheath near its tip. The sheath is metal precluding the warping over time of the traditional lacquered wooden sheath. In the islands of the South Pacific wood would have quickly deteriorated.

These two belong to Sundog, and were made by one of our local knife makers Calvin Klein (no not that Calvin Klein, no blue jeans here). The steel is ATS34 with some nice file work on the spines. The handles on both is buffalo horn. The sheaths are also handmade by Calvin.
This one is 8 1/4" overall length.

This one is 7 1/4" overall length.

[Quick Steel]

Truly beautiful work. I especially like the treatment of the bolster. Does Mr. Klein have a web site?

[doglegg]

Awfully pretty knives.

[terryl308]

Very nice customs. I especially like the buffalo horn with the white streaks! Is Mr. Klein from S.D.? Terry

Yes, he is right here in Sioux Falls. I don't believe he has a website, but if you google Calvin Klein Custom knives Sioux Falls, SD you will find him. Disregard all the hits you get for Calvin Klein jeans. LOL!!

This is really strange, I had never seen one before. It is a Saladmaster 205 hunting knife with sheath. Wouldn't you want to be seen out in the woods hunting and carrying one of these on your belt. If you catch the sun just right you could suffer permanent eye damage. Blade is stainless steel, handle appears to be chrome plated cast aluminum. Hmm, wonder if anyone collects these?

They made Bowies also and they say James Bowie or such-some are mounted on boards some come with a leather sheath. I don't know the time frame.
I've never seen one like yours tho.
