Description: This damascus bowie by Chuck Schuette features a carbon steel cable damascus blade. The blade is distal tapered for optimal balance. The differential heat treatment line shows the transition between the hard cutting edge and the softer, supportive spine.
The faceted snakewood handle is carved on the flats and has decorative pin work. The polished double guard is nickel silver. The ferrule is hand fluted. The handle is completed with a stippled end cap.
This knife is accompanied by a hand stitched leather custom sheath with snakeskin inlay.
Schuette made this dramatic bowie in 2017. It has been in a private collection and is in excellent shape. There is some slight checking in the snakewood, which is typical of this very dense wood. Excellent work throughout!
