And if the above two were unavailable...I'd go to the Hancock or the Sornberger.;)

Thanks Dark. She is a real beaut!:) I do hope you get the opportunity to own one too. They are awesome to hold.
Unfortunately, I don't get very many occassions to carry it!:grumpy:

first is a nice little Fritz Clauer fighter with wirewrapped handle and special 7 sided nut for the butt

Jim Siska always makes sleek recurve fighters and this one is not exception, especially with the blued guard and butt

Roger Hatt over the past year has been making a big impact on the knife scene creating a nice new Canadian presence. This subhilt fighter has brass and sugalite to addorn the hidden tang within Canadian Birch Burl.

another great sub-hilt fighter make, Schuyler Lovestrand has now turned this model into a tactical although mine is more of an art knife piece

More known for his high end folders, Warren Osborne was equally adept at creating fixed blades as this fighter shows

and last we have a nice fighter by one of the best knifemakers you can hope to fine--Wolfgang Loerchner

is that a forged blade Craig? I like the blued fittings. Nice photo too. I have normally been disappointed in the images the fellow uses that sells your nice knives on EBay. This one is great. REal nice knife. One day I'll get to handle some of your work.
 
Murray,

The blade is forged 1084, nitreblued fittings and a hippo ivory handle. The particular knife is listed in The Cutting Edge January issue. It won best bowie and Best of Show at the Proffesional Knifemakers show in Denver earlier this year. if I rember correctly the overall length is 15 1/4" on this knife.

sorry I missed PKA this year. was there in 2001

BTW--do you know the date of PKA in 2003? I'm wondering if it conflicts with the new dates for BAKCA of Aug 16 weekend.

sure a nice knife though Craig. would have like to have seen your other work too. Maybe someday.
 
Paul Myers made this knife. Those of you who know Paul, know he rarely makes anything bigger than pocketknives. I guess somebody talked him into this one. It was on a display only table at the Mt. Vernon, IL knife show in November. All I remember is that it was totally awesome, and that I had to have a picture. If this don't qualify as a fighter, I don't know what will!
 
I also saw this one at the Mt. Vernon show and it was simply awsome to behold. Pauls Work is stunning!

Murray,
I am still trying to find out the date of this years PKA show, as soon as I find out I will post it on here.

Danbo,
Why haven't I seen any completed pics of the knives you worked on at my shop? :)
 
Here's a nice fighter bowie from Roger Massey. Blade is a little over 8" of forged 1084 with nickel silver "S" guard and flame maple handle.
