Description: Mastersmith JD Smith has an artistic vision to his work that is exceptional -- a primitive sense of power is combined with meticulous precision.
This Bowie features a long, clip point blade forged to shape by JD using his own damascus. 1095 and 15N20 carbon steels were combined into highly complex blade. Five separate bars of steel are combined into a pattern that is both fascinating from a distance and up close. JD, who created the well known instructional video Advanced Damascus Patterning, is truly a master of damascus steel!
The handle is formed from a single piece of Arizona desert ironwood. Damascus fittings surround the convoluted wood. Accompanied by a tooled leather sheath. The carving in the leather is a style that JD Smith has developed and is done freehand using a flat knife. A masterpiece with exceptional fit and finish throughout!
