Description: Journeyman Smith Gary Rodewald forged this exceptional classic American Bowie. The blade is an intricate firestorm pattern Damascus that incorporates 1084 and 15N20 carbon steels. It is flat ground with a convex edge. The result is a knife with a keen edge and exceptional performance. Gary works with very tight tolerances, creating a knife with an excellent fit and finish.
The handle is an exceptional example of sambar stag. Even when sambar stag was more readily available, a piece of this quality was a desirable rarity. Now, when sambar stag has become nearly impossible to find, this was only possible because Gary has been keeping this piece aside for just the right knife. Nickel silver fittings surround the sambar stag handle. The pommel has been shaped to match the texture of the stag and is peined to the tang for strength and durability. Excellent work throughout!
