Cabot, Pennsylvania– April 2022– A list of stunning features the proud owner(s) of the Eggerling Bespoke pistols will enjoy begins with the shimmering hues within the Damascus steel itself, drawn forth by Eggerling’s skill. The mesmerizing colors are enhanced by matching patterns from frame to slide, reminiscent of Arabesque designs artfully crafted by some ancient swordsmith. From the diamond front sight to the crystal-clear Lucite grips that reveal the modified window cut magazines, every component has been carefully hand built and assembled. Despite their similarities, these pistols were made to be distinct from one another and feature different front slide designs, making each one unique.

For the Eggerling Bespoke pistols, Cabot has utilized every aspect of our acquired knowledge and attention to detail. From countless hours spent forging, aerospace-tolerance machining, hand finishing, and polishing, to assuring the woodgrain on each case matched perfectly, this set of pistols is truly a bespoke vision from concept to execution.
Finally, Cabot Guns is the world’s first gunmaker to mint virtual art in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFT) on the Ethereum blockchain. Both Bespoke-01 and Bespoke-02 will be accompanied by NFT’s for their proud owners. Each NFT is fully tradable with unparalleled protection and provenance for ownership and will reside on the blockchain until a time when, perhaps, mankind as we know it will cease to exist.
Each pistol—serialized as Bespoke-01 and Bespoke-02—rests in a custom, hand-built wood case.
Each case is itself an example of relentless craftsmanship by master box maker Scott Parker, a member of the Society of America Period Furniture Makers and The Guild of Master Craftsman. Museum-grade Claro Walnut was chosen for the book-matched outer enclosures and each features grain perfectly aligned from front to top, oil-rubbed to a lustrous finish. The interiors continue the use of book-matched Claro Walnut and grasp each Eggerling Bespoke pistol with a Cabot-designed Freedom Fit, which allows the full beauty of these Cabot masterpieces to be seen in all their glory. Both 16” x 14” x 6” custom cases are meticulously designed and built to last for generations.
These pistols are more to us than beautiful products of full-artisan Damascus. They represent a series of obstacles overcome. When faced with an opportunity to innovate or improve, Cabot never chooses convenience over quality. Every frame that bears the Cabot logo enters our facility as American-made bar stock and is machined entirely in-house. This is far from the most economical approach, and we are often asked why we go to the trouble. The answers range from material quality, supporting the American workforce, and maintaining complete control for each customer’s project. While the untrained eye may not always be able to identify these differences, when viewing the Eggerling Bespoke pistols, no one can deny it is absolutely worthwhile.
