Excellent choices all, which should come as a suprise to no-one. Bagging the Peck Award knife was a real coup.

No damascus in the group - did it just kind of turn out that way, or were you carbon-focussed?

I still can't believe I do not own a Jason Knight piece. So many great makers out there...

Roger,

The Wheeler had to be carbon. The Knight was an impulse purchase. The White was just too crisp and clean to resist and the McIntyre was an order. I suppose that you could say that I was on a wooden handle kick also.

I really like how your Wheeler Fighter turned out. It was my favorite of his J.S. test knives and the award makes it even more special. Congratulations!

Super-clean loot, Senator Gill! :thumbup:

That Wheeler fighter is going to be the most photographed custom blade at the show; Nick's photo, yours, P7's, and mine (upcoming).

I tell 'ya, I am IMPRESSED with your photos. Very clean. :)

Congrats.

What great scores. Congrats. Were the Knight and White bought after the doors opened or on Thursday night? Just wondering since it'd seem impossible that you'd be able to hit those two in time after the doors opened to score stuff off of both.
 
I was wondering where that great looking red mammoth Don Hanson was? I sure thought that was the prize of the show for you?
 
I Think you are on a You Suck kick
....seriously delicious steel Peter nicely played!
 
some great acquisitions Peter. I particularily like the hunter also. Glad I was able to help out the cause with my purchase from you lol. One day I'll get there but so far this year has been a good one for knives all around it would appear.
 
What everyone else said.
So many clean knives.
Great work by all. :thumbup:

Peter, Good haul .... as I plan on being there next year I need to get some training in for shoulder charging.

I think Nicks is my favourite, the Blade looks fantastic....... how about some specs? OAL, Blade length?

Cheers,

Stephen
 
You made some nice snags Peter!

It was great seeing my friend Jason get his Ms. I think he's been doing that level work for a long time, but he sweated it out and made it official last week-end. I was SOOO proud to see him get the BR Hughes award. Jason makes handles that just drop into your hand and make you think, "Awe... yes, that's right!" :) His dagger had a killer design with damn near perfect execution... TOTALLY cool stuff.

I had not seen John White since I met him at Blade show about 4 years ago. He had JUST taken the intro course some months before that show. I was so excited to see him again. I was not surprised to see how much his work had improved. It was all top drawer, super clean, and elegant work. I think many pics don't do John's work justice, as it was all far better than any photo I've seen. He was STILL the unbelievably humble and gracious man that I met 4 years ago... even after just getting that Ms. This is a man whose prescence will indeed be kept in the spot-light.

Very similar thoughts on Shawn. I had not had the pleasure to meet Shawn until this show. We had a lengthy discussion on design, construction, and "feel." We definitely are on the same wavelength with many of our approaches to knives. He was super nice and had some of the coolest bladeware at the show. All very elegant and extremely well made.

There's no photo of Don Hanson's work here, but I just wanted to add that it was also a great pleasure to meet him. I was ever so glad to see Don's work meet up with all the hype. They quite simply rocked. Great looking stuff with great balance and feel. His dagger was like a feather!

As for that Wheeler guy... I think he's a hack!
