I finished this quite a while ago but just have not gotten around to putting it up. Thanks for looking
 
I love these Mona Lisa bowies Chuck. I have both pictures on my shop wall. Last year I even bought the full size poster and even thought about going out and taking the banner off the chain link fence.
 
yeah! That's sweet!
 
Thanks Bruce.

I really like these posters too. I bought 8 at the show. I bought one of the banners from last year too. It is really cool.
 
Fine looking Bowie Chuck. I like your feather pattern.
One of the criteria I use for evaluating feather patterns is how straight and centered the spine or centerline of the feather is and how uniformly it follows the curvature to the blade tip.

By the way, how do you get one of those posters? It really communicates a very important and productive message.
 
That's Nice Chuck I think that knife would put a smile on the face of anyone that held it

Thanks all for the comments. Kevin if you contact David Jacobson at rockymountainpromotions@gmail.com he should be able to get one or two made for you. If for some reason he cannot let me know and I will get one printed up and laminated for my cost. Dave was offering them much cheaper than I can get them made for.
 
I was glad to see this knife in person. I love the blade profile. The knife is impressive in several respects. The workmanship is top notch and it's a very large knife besides but the proportions are just right.

I also had a good time visiting with you Chuck. Got some very good pointers and tips during our chat. Thanks again.
 
Wow .. it's a beauty Chuck :thumbup:
Like it so much :cool:
Thanks for showing :)

Is a feast for the eyes,great knife and spectacular damascus.
Leonardo Da Vinci should be very careful to Monnalisa armed with that bowie-
 
That is really nice, did you have that at Boise? If so I missed it. I was glad to meet you nonetheless. Todd

Thanks all once again. Todd, the knife was at Boise but not on my table. It was on the show table up front. Sorry you missed it. BTW Congrats once more on your Best Art and best New Maker.
 
That's a wonderful looking Bowie, Chuck. I'm a big fan of feather pattern damascus and yours is gorgeous. That poster makes a powerful statement. Kudos to the creator.
