First up is a great bowie by bladesmith Todd Kopp. It measures 13 1/8" overall with an 8" damascus blade. Absolutely fantastic mammoth or mastodon fossil tooth handles. The blade is a wonderful ladder pattern damascus. The fittings are blued. Some typical wear on the blueing from taking in and out of the sheath. Never been used or carried. The blade is marked KOPP. Comes with its original leather sheath and frog. $1275 OBO Postal Money order or PayPal Friends and Family
Next is a handmade Bowie knife by Master Bladesmith and former (he retired) Armourer to Her Majesty the Queen, James L. Jackson. His knives are rarely offered for sale. It measures a massive 16" overall with a 10 5/8" blade. Absolutely fantastic wood handles inset with silver pins. The butt cap is sculpted silver. The sheath alone is a work of art. Wood sheath covered with leather and fittings of silver. The silver throat is marked JAMES L. JACKSON Armourer to H.M. THE QUEEN. Very nice patina on the silver fittings. Could be polished if desired but I personally like the patina. The knife has not been used but it does have a couple small spots of oxidation on the blade near the handle. $1475 OBO Postal Money order or PayPal Friends and Family
