This is probably the coolest piece of CC history that I own. It is the sequence of assembly of the Knife World Cripple Creeks molded in lucite. Unfortunately, it got broken in half during shipping to my shop. Bob made this for Houston price of Knife World fame to carry to shows to promote the huge run of Knife World knives that he was building. After wrangling with the UPS insurance people, I was able to keep it.

Thanks for taking the time to post that Bobby. As always, sure enjoyed spending some time with you in Bastidville :thumbup: Take care my friend.

Stay off the streets this weekend, I am going to be on 'em and can not handle the competition. :D.

Edited to add: Those springs look like they would be a pretty big challenge.

I had one of those knives! Sold it last year with a bunch of others.--KV
 
This particular pattern, with its odd, angular bolsters and humpback, was an old Kabar pattern. Kabar had some rather unique patterns in its old lines.
 
That's really cool. How did you manage to beat Greg to it? He really did a great job with that honeycomb jigging of his.
 
Wow...awesome, at least the case can be replaced!!...this is such a neat thing to have, ...very lucky, and thank you :thumbup:
