hammerforged Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 There is a story behind the Angel Hair Bowie. Back on May 2, 1979 Randy Oitker Sr. made an exceptional belt buckle. He subsequently sold said belt buckle. After many years the buckle found it's way into a Pawn Shop, fortunately the owner of the Pawn Shop recognized Randy Sr's work and returned the buckle to the family. Alas the knife that Randy Sr. made that originally graced this magnificent work of art had gone missing along the way. Darla was kind enough to allow me to make a replacement for the original and the buckle has again found it's way home to Randy Sr. and Randy Jr. I feel very fortunate to have been allowed to add my small bit of talent to that of such an extraordinary piece of art.

GWSmith Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 This was such a hard secret to keep Ross...LOL I wanted to tell everyone after I saw it the first time...It's still hard to believe this is so small but I know it's just as good of quality as any other knife you've made!!!
