Maker: Peter Del Raso

These two were brought to me by the collector to photograph, both made by Peter, both very different in style. First is a hollow ground integral boot kn!f3 with Mother of Pearl inlays and garnet settings. Completed by Marcello Pedini's exquisite engraving, and a snake skin inlayed handmade sheath. The second is a skeleton utility made from Takefu stainless damascus clad VG10 and a leather sheath.

Nice purchases by the collector, thanks for getting the photos done Jai!

Maker: Billie-Jean Pearce Pearce Billy

Who loves their Bowies? 🙋‍♂️ Check out these beauties from Billie-Jean, the first is named 'old Skool' for obvious reasons in it's styling, featuring Basketweave damascus, copper guard/spine/spacers, and an antler, giraffe and camel bone handle. The second is called 'Monochrome' and is a more subdued style with stainless damascus clad VG10 core San-Mai, G10 guard, and Ebony handle with G10/416 stainless/acrylic spacers.

Then there's the pic of 5, all skilled workmanship in amazing pieces, the middle piece with the coffin handle made from Mammoth was made at a class in South Africa with Neels Van Den Berg Master Smith. The interesting thing with that one, they both made the same Bowie, at the end the parts had to be made to the same tolerances and were interchangeable between pieces, eg: could swap handle from one to the other etc...

Fantastic work Billie-Jean!
