[Karl B. Andersen]

I like that Blackwood Hunter, Bruce.
O-Row Dudes rule!

[Karl B. Andersen]

Here are five of my six coming to Atlanta.
5 Damascus, 1 W2.
2 are Maiden Hair Twist, one laddered Ws, and two are radial random.
W2 has a killer hamon.

Getting sent off for top-shelf Scott Teaschner sheaths, lots of hot bluing, wrought iron guards, etc.

 

[John White]

This will be at table 3-Q in Atlanta.

13 1/2 inch W-2 Shinogi-zukuri Bowie blade with Hitatsura hamon.

Brown patinaed silicon bronze Habaki and Fushi, brass Seppa, rust-browned wrought iron Tsuba/Guard.

Silk wrapped Walrus handle.

A shout out of thanks to Stuart Branson for inspiration and advice. He is not responsible for my shortcomings!

Gadzooks!!!! John, could you and the other guys do me a favor and make some ugly knives? I am running out of silly cartoon expletives.

[John White]

Here's another for the table at Blade.

10 1/4 inch 2-bar/4-bar "W's" "Take-down" Dagger, "W'd" Damascus fittings and frame, file-worked S/S accent spacers and frame liners, carved Blackwood handle scales.

Soon to have a Paul Long sheath.

Really nice dagger John.

[Karl B. Andersen]

Here are some knives I'll be dragging along as soon as Scott Teaschner is finished with the sheaths and the blades are hot-blued.
The guard on the spalted maple gets hot-blued as well.

(Three more to go!)

 

[Jon Brand]

I love that hunter in the middle.

 

[Jos]

John, Karl & Ken: very nice knives! Makes me wish I could be at the Blade Show.

Kind regards,

Jos

Karl I do love that damascus Bowie at the bottom. i'll just bet she feels real good in the hand. Looks to be substantial in weight.
What is the blade size? Have fun at the show!

 

[Karl B. Andersen]

I wish I could answer that question - she's off on her way, with the other two, to get some fantastic leather by Scott Teaschner. I'm thinking 8" or so.
Not really all that hefty as she appears - pretty light and quick.
I'll give some more accurate details when I get her back and hot-blued.
That's a twisted wrought iron guard.

This is probably the only time I'll ever get the chance to post on a 'what have you made for the Blade show' thread, so I thought I might as well make the most of it!

I can't explain why at the moment, but this effort of mine will be heading there...unfortunately I'll not be going with it.

There you go...it's been nice to be able to post a picture or two rather than just look for a change.
I enjoyed that!!

Ian

 

[RonNewton]

This one's going to Blade. A 9" feather pattern fighter with integral guard and integral hidden tang. Amber dyed stag and some 24 carat gold wire.

 

[Lorien]

that's the one Ian. Micarta though, please! Might change my mind, though, in a couple of years or so when my number comes up

 

[xaman]

Oh man, this is getting good! Thanks for all the pics gents.
