Besides CPK knives, whaddaya like?

[Mike157]

I do have a number of Matt's knives, and I can attest to his creativity, attention to detail, and striving for perfection in all that he does. Plus he is a wickedly good guy that I am very happy to call my friend. Not always easy for a recluse like me.

I'm heading out the door, but will post a few knives a bit later. My avatar is one of Matt's choppers.

And Bob, that is one really fine blade from Ben. Love his work also. I was lucky enough to have its brother, the one James Williams cuts with, come my way. Mike

I don't want to let this topic fizzle without drawing attention to Mr Gregory's forum hilariousness.. His "cousins-sisters-brothers-son-of-son-of-exactimundo" post is one of my all time favorites. I've read it several times just for entertainment factor.

As promised, here are a few of Matt's knives. I tried to show a bit of a cross section.
Matt took the first picture.
The second picture is by SharpbyCoop and includes a whip with matching koa from Heather Newland.
I took the last three pictures with my severely less than acceptable abilities.
Hope I didn't go overboard here. Mike

Oh poop. I'm using a new photo host and just realized that I could have shown these pictures in a larger format.

Hope I didn't go overboard here.

Not at all! Thank you for sharing those. Do you mind saying what that last one is called?

I don't know that Matt named it. I think that we were just calling it a tanto of sorts. Mike

Beautiful knives Mike! Thanks for sharing. I wasn't familiar with Mat's work.

THE "WARENSKI KHUKURI" ACQUISITION


One of the finest pieces of art in metal ever made, the Warenski Khukuri (about 27" long) - perhaps one of the top five Warenskis ever created - was offered for sale at the Art Knife Invitational (AKI) in 1997 and since then, few people have had the opportunity to see it. However, it has just been acquired by buddy Dan Favano. I was lucky enough to be contacted by Dan with a few questions about it that I hope assisted Dan in his decision to advance discussions about the possibilities, and the end result was the magnificent Warenski Khukuri entering the Favano collection, one of the very finest of knife collections in America, first announced here on the CPK subforum:

Wow! What a work of art. Absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing Bob.

This is my favorite Bowie from my friend Chris Linton at Osprey Knife and Tool.

Find me an old Woodcrafter that hasn't been beat up!

Wow! What a work of art. Absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing Bob.

I would have much rather said: Here! Here! As in if that masterful piece was here with me but I'm way too poor for a jewel like that Warenski Kukri, hence the correct way of extolling my approval is: Hear! Hear!

 

[Casinostocks]

I'm such a dork! I gave that guy with a 4+ year old post a "Like"

You don't see the Woodcrafters pop up too often. I know I'm hanging on to the last 2 Blind Horse knives I have!

 

[JustinFournier]

Thanks Bob. I'm never disappointed by your Warenski posts.

She certainly is a work of art.
