This is something brand new from Barry, an integral guard that has been painstakingly peeled back from the blade itself and artfully formed into practical and elegant hand protection. This beauty is bound to catch everyone's eye! This is an ORIGINAL 001 design, the only one of its kind! This isn't a cheap factory knockoff, this is the REAL DEAL! Don't miss out on your chance to own a ORIGINAL Dawson Damascus Bowie! This beautiful fighter is made from high contrast DAMASCUS, which has been forged using 5160, 15N20, 52100 and Nickel, and is as strong as it is beautiful. Unique, eyepopping steel, and very strong. I have several knives of my own made by Barry, and I have always been very impressed with the quality of workmanship and durability of his knives. The unique and comfortable guard is generous, and and can accomodate even the meatiest of hands. You have to see this beauty in person to appreciate all of the attention to detail, this knife is certainly a high quality handmade! The tang is full and untapered for a tough spine all the way through the knife. There is a also a generous top bevel along the clip point, which balances the knife wonderfully. I am a big fan of a good Clippoint design, and I think Barry has nailed it with this beauty! The handle is crafted from some beautiful Snakewood, with great figuring and stellar color! Barry has also done some decorative filework along the spine of the knife, a nice touch! The blade length is 8 1/2", with an overall length of 13 1/4". The sheath is a handmade leather sheath, made to be worn upright on the belt. The sheath has been hand fitted, to protect the life and beauty of the knife. The leather has also been dyed a rich brown and sealed to protect your investment. A very smart package, Retail for this sweet blade is $1,080.00.       I am happy to combine shipping!
