Description: This impressive hunter's bowie was created by Gary Rodewald. It has a deceptively simple yet elegant quality about it.
The blade is Laddered W's pattern damascus hand forged from carbon steels. The distal tapered blade feels light and nimble for its size. A false edge travels along the spine. The blade is flat ground for an easy to maintain edge.
The handle is made from presentation grade curly koa wood and offers a lovely multi-grain pattern. It is polished to a luster, but the wood offers a fairly non-slip feel. The wood is shaped and contoured so it fits comfortably in the hand. The handle swells at the palm, moves into a slimmer waist and swells again at the end of the handle, ensuring a comfortable yet secure grip. The guard is made from polished German silver with a copper spacer. The contrast in colors is beautiful. The handle is completed with a singled hand domed pin.
This knife is accompanied by a hand stitched sheath by Gordon Kenley.
