After the Blade Show in June, my family and I took a vaction my next time home, so that left little shop time, but I was able to get a few things made this last time off.All photos are by Scott Roush, whose style of photography fits my work very well.First up is two neck knives, one in a spike antler crown with a 1080 blade.

Next one is handled in mammath ivory and a Chad Nichols damascus blade.The sheath on this one has a rare earth magnet to help with retention, and also has a forged mild steel element for a bail.

This one is a full tang fixed blade with a 1080 blade and mammoth ivory scales.Scott lost track of where he was with the photos, so we got two great images of this one with different backgrounds!

This next one is partial tang, 1080 blade, and has an artifact walrus ivory handle that was purchased from Mark Knapp.My first use of walrus ivory ,BTW.

Last is an elk antler tip friction folder that I made in memory of my freind Dave Cole, who's favorite thing to make was this type of folder.This one has a stand of weathered oak and forged elements.

Hope you enjoy the look, and thanks for the great photos Scott!
 
Beautiful work John. I always look forward to seeing your newest creations. I like them all, but the coolness goes off the charts when I see some of the work you have done with Tai.

Thanks for the compliment Gus, but as far as working with Tai, I believe you are confusing my work with that of Chuck Burrows, aka Wild Rose.
 
so, do you have like a time machine or something?
Just love the feel of your work, John. I mean, from a computer screen. Would love to see this stuff up close and personal some day.
 
Awesome work across the board Jon. I love the artifact walrus piece, in particular.

Beautiful work, John. You've developed a look all your own and it's a pleasure to see it everytime. Keep up the good work.

John those are some outstanding pieces you are showing. Your work is in a class by itself. No matter where you post I can tell its your work. I feel very lucky to have my collection of your work. Thanks for showing. KT
 
John, I do love your work and style!

Thanks for answering all my questions, and your help.

Scott, nice photos!

Nice work! you put together brand new knives that look 200 years old and I love it.
 
Looks like you have been busy....Very nice work on all....Thanks for showing !
 
It's fun photographing John's knives and always a joy to hold them. There are so many little details you don't see the first time..and definitely not in a photograph. I love both of those ivory pieces.. but I think John and I might be talking about a friction folder soon.... ;)
 
Great Knives.
The first is my favorite of the batch but they all look great.
Scott did a good job capturing the essence of your style.
