Bowie from Kyle Hanson

[Don Hanson III]

Kyle,

Fine looking bowie.

Now all we need to do is talk Don into letting you spend the weekend with Sid and I.

Dave from Diller

Don't want him to pick up any bad habits Dave.

The tusk doesn't fall far from the walrus, to put a more relevant spin on an old cliche.

that's gold, right there!

 

[pootsythesamurai]

let's face it - Kyle has an unfair advantage and he's rightly making the most of it

If only my dad had been a knife enthusiast instead of a coach builder my bank balance wouldn't hurt so much.

Great bowie though, usual Hanson styling and impeccable execution.

What are the dimensions on that knife, Don? Looks very compact. I really like that blade profile and the handle size/shape in proportion gives a very strong, purposeful impression.

"Kyle Style" is definitely evolving into something special. :thumbup:

 

[FosterJ]

Awesome, very well done. Certainly a chip off the ole block.

Will, it has a 7-1/4" blade, 12" over all. Thanks man!

 

[Will York]

Thanks, Don--looks compact enough to be a great all-around carry for trail/camp as well as a fistful of weapon if need be, and look head-spinningly gorgeous while doing it. OR it could live its life behind glass, just being beautiful.

It is a compact piece and all Kyle, I've never made one like it. Thanks!

Don,

That's why we want Kyle to come over. To break Sid and I of "bad habits".

Since he doesn't seem to have any. You've taught him well (okay, excellence).

Okay since you drive a hard bargain. You can come too, but I will arrange that you have the keys to the Cobra while we work.

I'm trying to lay the pressure on you for a visit to NE.

Dave, I'd love to spend a couple days with you & Sid. Just say when, I'll bring Kyle also... Keys to the Cobra eh?

Don: Love the profile and material selection - great hamon too. My compliments to Kyle.

 

[R APPLEBY]

Beatiful all around

 

[B . Buxton]

Very Nice Kyle, fantastic piece.

Bill

 

[Mike Quesenberry]

Love the lines on the clip and the belly. It has that DHIII flare but the lines are unique. That's not an easy thing to do having the influences he has (all good of course).

I think this is a very fair comment, and I agree with Mike.

I wouldn't be surprised if he gives his old man a run for the money in this year's Best Bowie contest. :thumbup:
