Another view of the Erickson masterpiece. and the exhibition Saynor pruner handles that gave me the inspiration. I think you'd have to agree , those Sheffield masters were no better than Ken Erickson.

Wow!! An incredible knife and the checkering fits perfectly with those scales. Fine, well executed checkering is amazing. Beautiful!

I'm a big fan of checkering but do not own any checkered knives sadly. I've seen some incredible ones that's been done by hand at the California Custom Knife Show and they are true functional art pieces. The older One Piece Knives by Chris Reeve Knives have amazing checkering and I'd love to add one of those to my collection one day. Unlike the rarity of the GEC checkered knives the OPK's do pop up for sale

I agree with absolutely everyone here!! Checkering is AWESOME !
Glad to see that Stockman surface Jeff, always wondered what happened with that one - it looks factory but Never seen another!

Great thread Charlie- I need to curb the enthusiasm felt when looking at this older Ivory or Bone examples, just fantastic stuff.

I have nothing to add to this thread but I'm loving what I'm seeing.

Keep up the posts gents.

Does this count?

Isn't that one of Charlie's Scratted creations?

My GUESS is "Since Charlie himself posted a Ken Cotes Scratted knife above (post 20) one of Charlie's creations with scratting should be welcome."

I'm glad you brought this subject to life.
Aesthetically, it enriches the design of a knife. Practicality wise, it creates a secure grip.
I can now appreciate a cutlers' challenge. Here are two new creations.

I agree!! Hot darn!

I love checkering, myself. I am however picky. The only checkered knife I have is a more “modern” linerlock so I’m hesitant to show it here.

These photos are all absolutely awesome! Keep ‘em coming!

What an awesome thread, Charlie! Unfortunately, I don't have any checkered knives. In fact, the only thing I have that is checkered is my past! Sorry, I had to do it!
