WORKS CITED 15 2 | P a g e ABSTRACT In the early 19th century, James Black created a different kind of knife for Jim Bowie. This knife was longer in length than the average knife and compared more to a mini sword. While the exact design and characteristics of the original Bowie knife was lost with James Black, the stories of the weapon captivated people. Our project was to capture the same aura surrounding the knife as James Black did many years ago but also commemorate the history associated with it. We created our Bowie knife model using Solidworks, cast it in IC440C Stainless Steel with the assistance of American Foundry Group, and polished it with our own tools. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Management Figure 1: Project Schedule Figure 1 shows the original Gantt chart for the Bowie Knife project. It began December 15th when we created the original proposition for the competition. Every period in the chat represents 1 week since the original 12/15 start date.

Since that first encounter as a teenager I have come a long way today in terms of my engagement with the world of Black literature and with the ideas of equality, justice, and respect for humanity. Professor R. Kapadia and Professor B. DaSilva, my teachers from my undergraduate college and very good friends today, not only guided me to academically engage with literature but also helped me steer through college life and its excitement and challenges. I am very grateful for Dr. Hawkins’s questions that make me think, read, and reflect. His concern for students is very inspiring; I hope I can be a teacher like him and touch students’ lives the way he does. Meeting Dr. Grewal marks a milestone in my life. My introduction to Postcolonial Theory and literature under her guidance has changed the way I understand and view life. Talking to her over a period of three and a half years has helped me understand myself – as a human being, as an Indian.

  • Keys to Making Knives Full Time
    | BLADE BUSINESS | By Les Robertson BLADE® fi eld editor BUILDING OUTSTANDING KNIVES IS CRUCIAL BUT THERE IS A LOT MORE TO IT Keys To Making Knives Full Time he knifemaker stands alone in his work- shop. A knife that was ordered by a cli- ent over six months ago is now fi nished. Th ere are more orders on the books, sales at shows are pretty good and the hits on the new website seem to be growing daily. It is then the marble starts to roll around in the maker’s head. It is the marble that has full-time knifemaker written on it. Th ere are diff erent defi nitions of a full-time maker. My defi nition is that of a maker whose sole source of income comes from the making and selling of his/her knives. Th is is no easy task. In fact, by my estimate, less than 2 percent of the makers worldwide fi t into this category. Th e reason the number is so low is it is very diffi cult to depend on knifemaking as your sole source of income. Making knives full time is not an easy undertaking. It not only re- quires a love for what you do, but you also must have the self-discipline to do what it takes every day to ensure the continued success of your enterprise. Remember, you are now responsible for everything good, bad or indiff erent with regard to your business. I asked fi ve full-timers what it takes to make a living making knives: David Broadwell and ABS master smiths Jerry Fisk, Daniel Winkler, Don Hanson and Shawn McIntyre.
