Knight Chin Bowie










This is a new knife that Taiwanese ABS Master Bladesmith Jimmy Chin and I recently made. This is the first collaboration piece that we have done together as well as the first knife Jimmy completed as a Mastersmith. Jimmy received his Mastersmith rating on May 29th. He is the first ABS Master Bladesmith not only in Taiwan but also in all of Asia.

Jimmy made the damascus. I forged, ground and heat-treated the blade. Jimmy polished and etched the blade. I made the guard and the handle. This is my version of a southwest bowie. This is the largest Damascus Bowie I have made.

This knife has already cut two people - twice.
