Description: It is rare to find a Bowie of this magnitude from Mastersmith Shane Taylor, who is best known for his folders. Every so often, however, he is inspired to make a Bowie and the effect is . . . well . . . inspiring.
The mosaic Damascus blade is highly detailed and shows tremendous control. The long clip leads into the fileworked spine. Bear Tracks pattern Damascus, which is one of the hallmark patterns of his career, is used on the guard and butt cap. Exhibition grade fossil walrus ivory is sandwiched between African blackwood spacers for a dramatic effect. This piece is perfectly balanced and quickly becomes an extension of your hand.
