jdsmith02115 36 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 What a fantastic job you did with this piece. Your leather work in particular stands out proud! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Nowacki 189 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 JD thank you very much for your comments high praise indeed. It was seeing one of your knives which had a spacer in front of the guard which inspired me to incorporate the same type of fittings on the Bowies that I make. Steve Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Nowacki 189 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Just a quickie to finish this thread off really. We only have one dedicated knife show here in the UK and that is Knives UK held at the end of June. I entered this Bowie into the professional makers competition and I am very proud to say that it won best in show. I was very humbled and to say the least, not a little bit pleased as this was the third year in a row that I have won this accolade. I think I'm right in saying that I am the only professional maker who attends this show to have done that. Anyway here's a pic of the Bowie with the award, thanks guys for all of your comments and continued interest in this thread. Steve 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Gerhard Gerber 358 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 @Steve Nowacki if this stunning knife is anything to go by I hope you find the time. Your knife inspired me, I tried that keyhole notch on a recent knife and people ask if I made a mistake ....... I'm sure that thought won't cross their minds looking at your knife, just beautiful! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Nowacki 189 Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Gerhard thank you for your comments buddy. It's great to draw inspirstion from other makers work. You know there are some awesome makers around and the skill that they possess never fails to astound and inspire me. As regards to the Spanish notch on the blade, some people can't abide them, but I like them and I feel it gives a certain look to the blade. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
