| The handle is made from the wood of a 600 year old tulip poplar known as a "Liberty Tree". "Liberty Trees" were designated meeting places for the colonials to discuss the rebellion, since it was too dangerous for these men to gather indoors. It is likely that the tree that provided the wood for these knives was the last remaining Liberty Tree, and it fell to a hurricane in Annapolis, MD.

| The hand-turned handle is taken from a large limb of a live oak that grows on the Alamo grounds. The familiar blade is 14" long and is crafted from high-carbon steel, hand-forged over a 10-day period. The blade is engraved on both sides with historical tributes to the men who fought and died at the Alamo. On each side is a single gold star for the fabled Lone Star of Texas. It is engraved with "Give Me Help, Oh my Country," and has a certificate of authenticity. Only 1,836 will be made, representing the year of the Battle of the Alamo.

Browning continues to take great pride in this legacy by introducing an association with five of the most prestigious knifemakers in the country. All have earned Mastersmith ratings with the American Bladesmith Society. They have now shared with Browning their unique designs for the Browning Mastersmith Collection. Each design reflects the pride and precision only made possible by such experienced and gifted hands. . The fixed blade designs will be made in the United States, while the folding models will be manufactured in Germany. Only 500 knives of each design will be made. The second design from each bladesmith will not become available for sale until his first design has been completely sold. This is a unique opportunity to own a magnificent knife designed by America's premier designers. But with only a mere 500 knives of each model available, they will soon be gone. |
