"I planted some ivory, silver, and Damascus and this is what grew. My floral Bowie!


There are a lot of things that I was trying out for the first time in this knife. For starters the guard was etched in a gold based acid that bonded to the Damascus. That is what the gold colors are on the guard. The black on the handle is my first try at enameling. I tried to embed gold in the enameling.


The flower is a carved and checkered piece of walrus ivory that I captured during a game of tag between @pigsticker73 and @fisk_knives


I took my silver filigree work a different direction to fit into the theme of this one. Creating vines and flowers out of them. It was an interesting and fun project! I learned a lot from it and plan on taking it to the next level from here on my silver work.”
