Amazing work on this one Bill. Great looking steel and masterfully executed bolsters and handle!
That Musk ox boss looks familiar!!

Guess Bill is occupied making the last knives for Bladeshow!
He will ha at table 15Q, so if you are a nut go visit him, and do a lot of pics and play with his knives
I wish you luck on Blade Bill. However, when you spot that sneaky Hobbit, make sure to hide this knife. We dont wanna have this end up in Seattle, so keep an eye on him!A few pics of your table would be fun, as I wonder what else you bring for the show
I liked pearl.. Now I really like musk Ox horn!
Am I the only one who searched for The Edge from U2 and ended up here?
Late to the party, but I have to say, integral bolster and your (Bill) handle (handled personally) makes it for me. Forget about Damascus, musk ox horn, I can live without it, but those two things, handle (shape and size) and bolster done perfectly, make it a perfect western knife for me. Period.
And you know what they say - people like to copy beautiful things and boy, do I want to make one like that.
Great work, Bill. Very inspiring.

Wonder how she will split those lobsters
Bill - how about the balance point too? That is a beautiful piece of work!!Originally Posted by Bill Burke
Well with the heavy musk ox handle it balances right in the curve of the bolsters. I thought about thinning the handle to take a little weight out of it but it feels so good I didn't want to mess with it.
