Arkansas Custom Knife Show 2013 - Show Us what you Got

Hello everyone! Wow, you guys are showing some awesome work!!! :) I am really looking forward to this show!

Here are some pictures of what I’ll have on my table. Most of these are orders being delivered and the Blue Bowie is being brought in for me to have on display. I had surgery in December and was in the hospital for 21 days. I’m doing very well now but the surgery took a long time to recover from. I just started getting out in the shop a little over two weeks ago and I’ve only been able to spend a little time in there before I get tired and that’s why I won’t have much available on my table. I’m just about back to normal now because I was able to spend 14 hours in the shop yesterday. :D

Here’s what I’ll have on my table to look at,

GREAT looking damascus Kyle, and the finishing details are top notch as always. Ebony is nice in that it polishes so well.

Love the gold inlay and the mammoth on the bowie.

Regards,
Peter

Best historic knife. Was Lin Rhea. So many incredable knives. The Lisch best Bowie was a treat to see and hold. It was also a pleasure to meet and visit with some great knife makers.

I will go back in the morning when I can spend more time.
