My Favorite Bowie, making the 'Serengeti Bowie'

Hey all!
Welcome back to another full build video! In this 36 minute video I will walk you through the process of making this spectacular take-down bowie knife.
A take-down knife is a knife you can take apart to inspect and maintain every piece easily.
The Serengeti Bowie has a feather pattern damascus blade, sculpted and polished stainless fittings, and an pre-ban elephant ivory handle. The Ivory of this piece is magnificent, with beautiful coloring and figure.

I watch a lot of Kyle Royer's videos and that man is a mad genius & pure sunshine and the world does not deserve him!

[robthompson]

I really like how you talk through your videos. So many knife makers don't tell you what they're doing

[martinschroeder]

Honestly Jacco, I agree with you about Kyle Royer being one of the best bladesmiths currently alive, but holy moly do you ever give him a run for his money. A stunning piece once again, I love the dark core along the feather pattern and the clam shells are so nice to look at. Amazing job as always!

[jasonknox]

Kyle hasn't got anything on you mate. You're right up there with him. Beautiful work!

[ronaldallen]

I agree Kyle Royer is the best I've seen, but wow, you're right there with him. This isn't a Bush League build—it's an amazing knife. True artwork!

That's not just a knife, it's a work of art !

[aliasaila]

Wow!
So nice. Congratulation that looks ace.
Thanks for showing.

Because you have mentioned Kyle Royer so often I’ve looked him on YouTube and watched many of his videos. While I do think his work is absolutely fantastic. I don’t think his anymore spectacular than yours. That feather Bowie was absolutely brilliant!

[karljones]

Truly a beautiful knife. The Damascus is outstanding.
Loved watching this piece being made. Thank you for sharing.

KYLE WOULD BE PROUD! I love this blade.

[rclaymore]

Absolutely beautiful. See you in Solvang, I want to shake your hand, sir. You are a true craftsman.

[jasongreen]

Out of this world, it's a pleasure to watch a very skilled artisan, brilliant work.

[Me-srgn]

I'm not really a knife person but watching you make this and seeing the end result is amazing. Stunning workmanship.

[charlesdevous]

Both you and Kyle are incredible craftsmen. Having different styles and approaches, but producing equally stunning and unique pieces with your own fingerprints evident in them. Neither is better, both just brilliant and unique, and do exceptional work. Thanks for sharing your craft brother.

[philwilliams]

Beautiful work and blade! After watching so many of Kyle's videos it's somewhat nice to finally see a knife where all of the metal is not blued.

I love your work and your videos! Please don't stop making these you the man! 🤙🏼
