A Couple of My Knives for San Antonio

[Michael Vagnino]

Here are two of the knives I'm taking to San Antonio. First is a 2 for 1 lockback knife which locks in two positions for both a straight blade and a push dagger. The blade is woots and the handle has black lip pearl with the bolsters engraved by me. The sheath is by Paul Long.

Here's a little watch pocket or purse knife. The damascus is 1095/15n20. The handle has antique tortoise shell with fileworked liners.

Thanks for looking!

That convertible push dagger is one of the coolest knives I have seen in a while.

Michael, that first one is off the hook!
The little guy is very nice too, be cool to see a little better picture of that tortoise shell

I agree with Roger, that push dagger has pegged out the cool meter:thumbup:.

I agree with Roger.
At first glance I thought it was 2 different knives.
I liked them both. ........Duhhhh

I'm definitely impressed with that push dagger/folder. Nothin' I don't like about it, actually. Very nice!

A piece proving how valid your earned title of 'Mastersmith' is.

Disarmingly wonderful! Good for you.

Hard for me to improve on that. Michael's MS dagger still resides in my collection and it portrays the same statement. One of these days, Coop is going to capture it if he is willing. .

Nice work Mike. I like the "basket weave" engraving on the push dagger very much. I found the design interesting, as I have a Parker push dagger from the early 80's that is nearly identical in design. I bought it mostly for the "cool factor", which you brought to a WHOLE new level!

Dam Mike that two spot push dagger is off the chart I love the engraving it go's so well with the knife and flows with the lines. The little one is cool to see you soon

 

[Bruce Bump]

I agree, that push knife/dagger combo is an instant winner.
