Tried to get a nice little group picture here. From the top; Jason Knight, Nick Wheeler, Jonny Walker Nilsson, Bailey Bradshaw.
 
Other side.

The Bradshaw is forged 1084, stainless guard and some of the best looking stag to be found. Especially nowadays.

The Wheeler is forged W1, stainless guard and stabilized Afzalia burl.

The Knight is forged 5160, blued mild steel guard and gorgeous Cherry burl for the handle.

The Nilsson has a Connie Persson damascus blade, Raindeer antler and amboynia burl for the handle.
 
All are exceptional in appearance. Looks like they go very well together in a picture.
 
Dan, your the MAN! Anytime...well, you know!;)
 
Boy that's a nice fighter and I really like the one from Jonny Walker Nilsson. That would be one of his more basic designs.
 
That Bradshaw looks SO clean - and I love the handle on the Wheeler. Great stuff.

Yea, Dan did REALLY well at the show! :)

All of these knives are really nice, but the Bradshaw is the one that just made me say, "WOW!"

I got to meet Bailey and his beautiful wife at the show....TOP NOTCH people! Two folks that were genuinely happy to be there TOGETHER....something even more impressive to me than Bailey's beautiful work.

Don't let me take anything away from Jason's little fighter though, I love it! The handle is contoured wonderfully and it just has that FORGED look.

I wasn't familiar with the Scandinavian type knife, but it's awesome. It has fluted filework around the handle spacers that's just flat cool.

As far as mine, it's a loose interpretation of a Russ Andrews that Dan owns. It's in a group of knives that I feel are elevated to a new level of "clean" for me. Too bad the hamon doesn't show here.

Good catch Dan! :)

I done drooled onto my keyboard again! Those are some fantastic blades there, I especially like the wood on the Wheeler... great stuff! And of course, the Bradshaw is stunning. Thanks for letting the rest of us live vicariously through you.
 
Nice catch, Danbo! Did you pick out the wood for those? Hard to say which I like the best, but the Bradshaw is very nice.
 
A touch of class in each and everyone of the knives displayed.

Outstanding bunch! :)
