Scott crafted JS test knife number five into a Texas-size bowie, dressed it in Desert Ironwood, and called it the Alamo. The 11.25 inch blade on this mega knife sports a lot of attitude, along with a wicked clip and a georgeous hamon. It is truly a monster when compared to the Zulu, but the two make a nice pair.
Scott now has five knives ready to present to a panel of mastersmiths in San Antonio but is working hard on two more designs that he hopes to finish before we leave. Keep your fingers crossed!
The hamon is hard to see in the studio shots, but it's there.
