Mat Maresch Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hello everybody, it´s been a time since I showed something, I have been busy.. This bowie was finished last week, originally I intended it to be one of my flagships for the Solingen show in two weeks time. Saturday a customer dropped by, and bought it right away. First come, first serve, I will miss this one on my table. Blade forged from 75Cr1, outer layers 496 layers random Handle is the most beautiful tooth I ever laid my hands on Overall length ist about 410mm ( 16 1/8'') Hope you enjoy the pics, and thanks for looking. www.mareschmesser.de Knifemaker, Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Colwell Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 i agree with the guys above. great materials and knife. kc please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” E. V.
