Woodhead
Bowie (2017 - 25 year anniversary)
This
is a knife that brings old styling together with a bladesmith’s twist.
It is a very special Bowie for me because this is my 25th
year to hold the rank of Mastersmith with the American Bladesmith Society
and also my 25th year (2017) of being a full-time knifemaker.
To commemorate this my first DEAN name stamp and my MS stamp that I
have stamped my blades with for those years was forged into the Damascus
for this Bowie.
It features a nine-inch feather patterned blade.
The Damascus fittings feature 24K gold inlay.
The muskox horn handle scales are secured by 14K gold pins and
feature 18K gold escutcheons.
This Bowie will be marked DEAN 25YRS.
Sole authorship.

folder is a large knife of 10-3/4 inches in the open position.

of 24K gold inlay.
All screws in the folder are a brilliant blue color like seen on
the screws in the first-generation Colt Peacemakers.
The liners are textured.

This folder brings old and new together for a nice up-scaled
package and is sole authorship.
