Here I am , explaining how the knife was made, to the President!

American Flag Bowie
A mid 19th century Bowie knife design was chosen for this commission
because it is the "American" knife. I tried to depict a scene in the
blade of the knife that would remind President Bush of his view during his
inaugural parade. There are thirteen waving flags and a banner saying
"U.S.A." on both sides of the blade. The crossguard
is partially composed of a meteorite from Texas, and the handle scales are
moose antler from Alaska.

American Flag Bowie
- Close-up
Yes, there are fifty stars and they are in five rows of six, and four rows
of five. Some are more distorted than others but all have five points.

"USA" Pattern-Welded
Bar
The U.S.A. banner reads correctly (left to right) on both sides of the
blade.
