The beautiful Damascus Bayonet style blade is from Robert Eggerling and is simply incredible. The Damascus bolster's are also by Robert Eggerling.

I've met and talked to him at the Blade Show. He usually sells out before the show starts and just hangs around for three days looking at other makers pieces. Friendly sort and easy to talk to. Does some very elaborate pieces. He had one, that I handled for a few minutes, he was asking $6,000.00 for it.

Beautiful work.
