ABS EXPO - San Antonio 2010

[Kevin Jones]

Well the ABS Expo in San Antonio is a little over one week away. http://absknifeexpo.com/index.htm
Thought I would start a thread to post some of the show knives I'm starting to see.

Makers, feel free to post your knives or send photos to me if you like. Even if you create a separate thread for your knives please post them here as well so as we will have them all in one place for future reference.

Here's a couple from Larry Fuegen:

This is a new model SLIPJOINT folder ( # 1) that I designed. The blade is 3.125 " with carved steel bolsters, bark mammoth ivory handles and gold pins.

Gentlemans Dress Bowie. 8.25 inch ladder pattern Damascus blade, forged to shape. Carved Damascus guard and spacer with 14 k gold bands. Carved cream colored mammoth ivory handles with carved Sterling handle wrap. Scabbard is custom leather with Sterling silver throat and tip and 14 k gold trim.

I hope to get a set of Damascus spurs Texas style and a small Damascus hunter finished.

OMG... Larry's work is so far outta' this world it makes my head spin. What an astonishingly amazing craftsman.

The fact he's so humble about it all is just as impressive.

Thanks for posting these Kevin!

Nice blades so far, I can't wait to see what develops in this thread. I plan on attending the show, to say I'm excited is an understatement. Keep the pics coming

 

[Jon Brand]

Wish I could be there. Those are great so far.

It seems having all the SA Expo knives in one thread wasn't a good idea after all.

WOW!! That folder is nice, but that "Dress" bowie is OUTSTANDING!

Looks like it will be a great show.
