Life's been good, knife-wise. I've been a full time maker for most of the year. I am temporarily not taking orders because I need to catch up with previous orders. Once I get a breather I will be concentrating on the folders exclusively for a good 3-4 months. Busy, but having FUN! ;)

Thanks for looking. Any comments are appreciated!
 
:eek: They're all awesome :thumbup: but the Karambit and the Yataghan pair really work for me :cool:

The bottom one in the second picture is another prototype (my current daily carry).

Thanks for the nice words!
 
The folder is a monster... great work! The Sasquatch looks great as well. And the Zanshin is a great design.
 
If you get a chance could you post some specs on that thunderbird prototype. That design is right up my alley :)

Steel type,
OAL,
Sheath,
Wt.

Thanks.

Every one of those pieces is absolutely stunning!
The Karambit, and the Yataghan, were the first to catch my eye, although the folder, Thunderbird, and Zanshin, are also fine items.
However, the Karambit is the stand-out piece in my opinion, and the design is excellent. :)

It is obvious that you are a talented knifemaker.
 
Thanks a bunch for the nice words, everyone. Blaster, sure thing. I'll email you when I get closer to having some of the folders done- probably in a month or so.

James, here's some info on the Thunderbird:

Blade length: 5.5 inches
Total length: 10.25 inches
Flat Grind
3/16" 154-CM

More pics of the Thunderbird can be seen here: http://www.dervishknives.com/available.htm

Finish on that and the folders is something tentatively called my Psuedohamon™ finish :D ;)

Thanks again folks!
 
Just looked at your website..., you rock! Absolutely LOVE your style!
I have not had my jaw drop like this for a very long time.

My hat is off for you.

Your knives are beautiful and definitely distinctive. Thanks for the link. hopefully someday i will be able to own one of these beauties.
 
LOL

John, I was about to bust your balls...and put my foot in my mouth with the same post.

I was gonna say that Yataghan was a knock off in name and design as a John Gonzales knife. Glad I read your profile. :wipes brow and laughs:

As I have said before. You have some outta the box designs, and I cant wait till we can meet (Blade East next year? Ill be there) and I can buy a knife from you, and Ram, and Dav. First I have seen of that folder. VERY NICE. Me likey the big folders too.

Hope all is well with you.
