Blade 2007 Awards - Custom & Factory

[SharpByCoop]

I purposely sent my wife Susan over to the display to take a shot of the winners. Why wait for the magazine to report in months....

Thanks a bunch! That is a great way of doing it!:thumbup:

A great list of award recipients-a veritable who's who of knifemaking.

 

[OregonEdge]

[Keith Montgomery]

Thanks Coop.

It sure would be great to see all the knives and people that won those awards.

 

[Kevin Jones]

Thanks Coop.

As Coop said, we will have to be patient as it will most likely be 2-3 months for the Blade article.

what tactical folder won RJ Martin the award? any pic? was it the havoc, rampage or devastator?

 

[xuesheng]

I think RJ's award was for something new, but I'm not sure what...

I am REALLY pleased for R.J.. Nope, none of the above.

Doubly so, because he won going 'old school'; carbon scales, a fitted ti bolster, flipper, and a PERFECTO deep semi-polished hollow grind. :thumbup:

I only have photos of Arpad Bojto's, Ken Steigerwalt, and Matt Lerch's knives. Soon...

Coop, finally meeting you and Susan was a highlight of my show.
Hope you are able to come up for air after a very busy few days!

Vince's sword that won the award (as well as his "best of the rest") was amazing.

Geno's award had me dancing in the aisles . Well deserved as was R.J.'s.

 

[Trisak]

Thanks Coop.

 

[SharpByCoop]

...but it's an outstanding knife (and a darn good image!)

Matthew Lerch - Best Handle Design.

Thanks for the report, Coop. Glad you had a good show. Eagerly awaiting more pics - the Lerch is stunning.

Off topic - WWG - you didn't happen to receive a forged Vanguard with my name on it, did you?

Coop: Q-36 Flipper is inbound to you for the full-blown "Coop" treatment! Wanted to get 'er done at the show, but the timing was bad...

RJ

 

[T.K.C.]

Looking forward to seeing this one! I really liked this piece in it's original incarnation.

 

[SharpByCoop]

I have it now. I am still hard at work finishing the Blade images. In the meanwhile, it take it out and flip it for a spell when I need a break. GREAT therapy.... :thumbup:

Is the Kershaw Tyrade an American made knife, or an import? Since it won knife of the year, shouldn't it also be either the American Made Knife of the Year, or the Imported Knife of the Year?
