John and Kyle,

I have been away from this thread for a while. Those knives are amazing. John, that flowed in butt cap is killer.

Don,

You always impress.

Well here is one for delivery at the show. The blade is 12" of W-2 with damascus fittings and ironwood. I guess you could call it a kukri with a japanese influence. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Good luck on the test Dan 5 very different knives I think the judges will like that.
 
Guys, I will sincerely miss you again this year. Hope you have a great time and I hope to see you next year. Don thats a great group! Makes it even harder for me to stay content at home.
 
Here is one more custom order I am delivering at the show. It's a 10" blade of "W" feather pattern. The handle is mammoth ivory and there is a good amount of silver wire inlay on the blued fittings.

Thanks again to my brother Caleb for the outstanding photo. Come by and see us at the show!

I'm off to Atlanta in the morning,

Kyle

Dan,

Nice looking test knives. I will be thinking about all of you Friday morning.
 
I want to go too :(
There are a lot of incredible pieces shown in this thread. Lucky you who'll be there - I envy you.
Have a great show everybody :)
 
I'm hopping on a plane in the wee hours of the morning, but the blades are already on their way.

These have been posted elsewhere, but here they are together:

Here are two more from Scott McGhee. A tactical everyday carry and a chef's knife. I popped these pictures really quickly last night so they're not the best, and the tactical blade comes with a shoulder rig, but I didn't have time to get a picture of it. We're here now and looking forward to the show - Table 21R.

I would like to thank all that posted their knives. I wish more would have. To me it is ashame that more makers will not use a free forums to show off their work.
