Donated to the Alamo??

Kevin Smith · 02-21-2021, 07:29 PM

Beautiful Jason.

coachk · 02-23-2021, 07:24 AM

Lookin good Jason!! I'll stop by and see ya at the show!

Jason Fry · 02-26-2021, 03:32 PM

Closing in on this one. Here’s the blade after final polish and etch. Have the guard and spacer done and glued together, and the butt cap fit. All that’s left is the coffee etch, a final test fit with the nail finial, and then glue.

Handsome blade!!

WildThings · 02-26-2021, 10:37 PM

Downright gorgeous pattern!!

bmac · 02-26-2021, 11:35 PM

That looks awesome! Are you going to torture test it before or after the show to make sure it holds up?

Definitely not lol. I trust my process and skills, have confidence in my work, and want my customer to get this one in perfect condition.

Today is Texas Independence Day, and a fitting occasion to finish this knife project. When I say I am patriotic, be clear that my loyalty is to Texas first.

I’ll summarize the knife here, although there is more detail further up the thread.
-1836 layer Damascus with Powell nails
-nail Damascus guard
-Sea of Mud grape shot spacer
-1836 silver half dollar
-Sam Houston Oak
-Sea of Mud harness decorations
-14” overall with a 9” blade

Kenny Rowe is working on leather, and this knife will be available at the ICCE show.

That’s a beautiful knife, glad I was able to be just a small part of it. Please let us know who or where it ends up.

Well, 49 other States can just go be jealous about not having anything this beautiful within their borders!

Jason Fry · 03-28-2021, 07:10 AM

I had this one professionally photographed, I’ll add that to this thread just close the loop once everything comes in.

In the meantime, I got a very nice surprise by winning Best Bowie from the Knifemakers Guild. For those of you not familiar with the guild, it’s the longest standing Knifemaking organization, and all of the great ones were in there. Also got elected to the board of directors, humbling.

Since last year show was canceled, they just used last year‘s awards, so the dates are wrong. I have nothing nice to say about that, LOL.
