Toronto Knife Knut luncheon!
Whew, I finally made it through a knife knut luncheon without cutting myself!!! Although I did have plenty of opportunity to get cut given that there were several hundred knives on scene! This was our most successful Knife Knut luncheon and BIG thanks go out to RAYE, who helped co-organize the event and Murray & Phyllis White, our gracious hosts!
Now for a list of attendees:
Knifemakers: Darren Chard, Eric Elson, James McGowan, Brian Russell, Douglas Speck, George Tichbourne, and Roger Toner
Forum moderators: RAYE and Hilton Leo
Knife Knuts: aerius, cockroachfarm, RogerP, RL, TRUST, Murray White, Phyllis White, and wyrm
The success of our event is not so much rooted in the sheer volume of knives present, rather in the variety. I would say that our first three events catered to art knife lovers while this event, the first joint BF/USN effort had an even mix of art knives and tacticals (finally!!!). It was great to see the likes of Brend, Emerson, Strider, and Onion alongside Fisk, Walker, and Wolfe (among so many others). And, of course, it was also great to see the work of our local talent!
So, without further ado, onto the knives! Lets start with the work of our local makers (then well move onto tacticals, art knives, and candid pics)
We were all stunned by Darren Chards FIRST fixed blade
James McGowan (mcgoo7) brought along a great assortment of tactical/utility fixed blades
Brian Russell brought three fixed blades (on the right side), including a great little fixed blade in Dendridic cobalt
George Tichbourne is currently working on a new series of folders heres the first piece
And here are a couple of shots of Roger Toners ivory tanto
Now for some tacticals
A few custom Emersons
a bit o Brend
Onions

A-LOT of nice knives there. I am wondering, is that an original Maringer Vorpal in the 14th pic lower right? If so somebody has a very cool knife!
