Here's some of what I am bringing to Blade. Much of it is very new to me. The new stuff is always exciting to me, to get your brain to think about things it never thought about before.
I call this my Desk knife, it's for executives to slice apples for lunch, pick their nails during board meetings and open letters with. It has a decidedly oriental flare to it, my own damascus, a goat horn, sunrise pattern in the handle, and ebony ends and sheath. I feel like my name and the number got too big on there but my customer likes it so I didn't change it.
Here's a matched fixed drop point hunter and folder. They have some random damascus that my customer wants to induce a natural blue to by slicing apples. The nickel silver guard and bolster are purposely large for deep relief engraving. The knives are going to the engraver after Blade. The scales are my customers own red deer from Germany. The folder is a friction liner lock with titanium liners, my first folder completely from scratch. It was great fun to build. My customer asked me to blend the traditional and the new and I hope this fits the bill. He knows nothing about them except that they had to be a matched set of hunters with induced patinas.
Here they are all together, the fixed hunter in the left top you've seen before. The three in the middle are my 2011 survivor knives, I hope to have them completed by the time I leave. I will probably still be assembling them on my way to the airport.
So there you are, a mixed bag to be sure. I will also have lots of handle material.
All comments are welcomed. Thanks for checking it out.
See you at Blade Table 20 O
