Bowie

This is the complete "Bridge over Troubled Waters" bowie that uses the steels from the World Trade Center bulding #2 and steel from the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The wood is Horse Chestnut that is the last of the 13 trees that George Washington planted.
Gold inlay is 24kt. Organic engraving.
This bowie took a long time to do as you can guess and yes, I did test it for cutting ablity when I finished the blade. It sliced a ham so thin the in-laws said they would not come back and visit.

It was important to me to preserve these materials with something that is beautiful to remind us that though we have bad things in our lives something beautiful will come of it one day.

I had been asked to make an Historical bowie to be put on display for the Presidential inauguration in DC. I may use this one if the owner will let me put it on display. I will make another for the display as well.

WOW! WOW! WOW!

Absolutely phenomenal is an understatement.

Very nice for sure

Just GORGEOUS!

Thank you Jerry !

Attended the Art of Steel in Little Rock yesterday. Found myself standing at attention while viewing it. OUTSTANDING!

That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Gorgeous!

You have God given talent......and that is functional art work.

I'm glad that I saw this. I had heard of this knife but had not seen it.

One of your best Mr. Fisk, absolutely stunning.

Thanks trout. It was fun.
I have a project in mind that you folks will really like if I get my materials I asked for. Looks like months before I can get the raw materials but will post here when I get it done.

Nothing more that I can add, just beyond beautiful!

Jerry,

You have set the bar! Excellent mixture of metal, wood, vision, blood, sweat and ENVY!!

Enjoyed our visit at DSC and looking forward to your MICRO show.

Cheers...john

One of Jerry's very best to date.
Really fine wood can hold its own with the ivories and stags of the world.
Great work.
