Arkansas "Best of Show Knife"

[jklein7401]

Just back from the show and it was great. There where a lot of super knives and am sure you all will be seeing plenty in the next couple of days. Until then I thought I would share a couple of photos of Ron Newton's Unbeleivable Dogbone, D-Guard, Knife/Gun that was of course voted "Best in Show". It was really no contest, one of the most spectacular pieces I have every laid eyes on. Just amazing work all around.

More to come soon.

Enjoy, Jon

An absolute outstanding contribution to custom knives.

One of those pieces which will make the broader collectible community 'stand up and take notice of custom knives' if the piece gets the exposure it deserves.

The only regret here is that it wasn't finished soon enough to make David's (ddd) latest book.

The only regret here is that it wasn't finished soon enough to make David's (ddd) latest book.

Mike acquired a few other amazing knives lately as well, that unfortunately will not make it into the book either. It is definitely time for Mike to get his own book to display his amazing collection.:thumbup:

This is a wonderful knife.
Beautiful walrus ivory for the handle.
The damascus made by Newton is truly superb.
Gold inlay work.Fine engraving.
Lovely bluing work on the gun barrel. The wonderful flow of the hammer/guard.Fine mechanism on the gun,hammer,trigger.
A very nicely put together "accessories",package for the shootin Newton.
All in all a wonderful package and all of it being sole authorship by Ron Newton!!!!!.
I don't remember seeing a Dagger grind, Dog bone bowie with a D-guard before.Let alone one with the shooting components added to it.
Maybe "DDD", or one of you can comment on that.
Mr Ron Newton,mastersmith,a very very talented and amazing bladesmith indeed :thumbup::thumbup:.

Kyle and Bruce, all the collectors from CKCA, DDD, all my peers who unselfishly voted the knife best in show, everyone that handled the knife at the Arkansas show, Chuck for his outstanding photography, the new home the knife belongs to, and everyone else, I am humbled at the overwhelming response to this knife. Your compliments are gratefully accepted. Thank you again for all your kindness.

This "shootin Newton" is a very unique and fascinating knife.
I don't think at this time, there are more than 2 other makers who even make these shooting knives.
I am curious, and would like to know if there are any plans for another shooting knife?.
