KYLE ROYER Mastersmith Test fighter

[Jon Brand]

Hey Folks, this is Kyle Royers fifth mastersmith test knife. Its extremely thin and fast in the hand.

Some specs- Full take down construction. Laddered mosaic damascus blade and fittings. 24K gold inlays. Slim walrus ivory handle. Coined anodized titanium spacers. There is a shark fin clip on the spine but its a bit hard to make out here. Blade is 10 1/4".

I'm proud to add this one to my collection.
What ya think?

The steel pattern is SO tight. Its hard to photograph.. You really need to get in there with Macro. (The blur around the edges is just my camera).

The buttcap has the same mosaic damascus and a "W" pattern finial.

I don't know how many bowie people hang here. I'll bump this back for anyone who may not have seen it.

Thanks guys for the good words.

I met Kyle and his family at the 2010 Arkansas show and
the only thing that impressed me more than his knives was
what a exceptional person he was. He's as humble as he is
talented. That is a great addition for you Jon.
