我有三尺匣,白石隐青锋。
一藏三十年,不敢轻开封。
无人解舞术,秋山锁神龙。
时时自提看,碧水苍芙蓉。
家鸡未须割,屠蛟或当逢。
想望张壮武,揄扬郭代公。
高歌抚匣卧,欲哭干将翁。
幸得留光彩,长飞星汉中。

到手一把ABS订制Bowie,刀匠是 ABS JS ----- Jason Howell。
一直想找一把完美的Bowie,过手了几把量产和订制,都不满意。对于Bowie的形制,个人不喜欢那些外形肥痴或怪异的,喜欢匀称修长,也即是:与我国传统的雁翎刀有几分近似。Howell这把Bowie即是。
主要参数:1084钢,沙铁手柄,镍银护手,大马柄颈,总长37cm,宽4cm。刀背厚达5.5mm,却非常轻盈。极幼开锋,镜面拉丝。整体造型、材料选择、完工度、平衡感都是绝佳,不愧是ABS作品。
Howell是德州刀匠协会创始会员,2002年获得ABS JS身份,迄今已历十余年。当年进行JS砍绳测试时,他不慎砍中自己大腿,当场大出血,险些丢了命,惊动了ABS若干位大神纷纷慰问。不知他个人网页上这张照片是不是当时情景的抓拍?呵呵。
他的自述:
For my entire life, I have loved knives for their practical use. I started making knives because I could not find that perfect production knife. I have a feel for how a good knife should look, feel, and perform and I try to put that into every blade. While I'm a part time maker, I am serious about my craft. I usually make fixed blades and folding knives in certain styles, as shown by the examples on the website. However, this is not the limit of what I can do. Custom orders are welcome! I made my first piece in 1998. Late in 1999, I started forging blades and producing my own damascus. I belong to the American Bladesmith Society, an organization formed by a group of knifemakers that have revived and believe in the "almost" lost craft of bladesmithing. There are several levels of membership, including Apprentice,Journeyman Smith, and Master Smith. I received my Journeyman Smith status in Atlanta, Georgia at the Blade Show in June of 2002. In 2005, I plan on applying for Master Smith status. Since 1976, only ~90 makers have recieved this classification. Every knife has to be absolutely flawless at this level. I am also a founding member of the Texas Knifemakers andCollectors Association, whose main purpose is to promote public awareness of the craft and art of custom knifemaking. They also serve as an excellent resource for collectors and makers to exchange ideas, thoughts and techniques,helping bladesmiths become the best they can be.
