CKCA 2011 Mini-Show Knives

Thanks Eli it is my first ball guard I wanted to something I had not done before for this show the balance point is right in the center of the guard .
 
All great knives here. Those daggers are over the top. That DLisch fighter is my favorite of Daves to date.

Good luck to all at Blade

Thanks All for sharing your wonderful work.

We still have two more to go, Karl Andersen's and Don Hanson's knives.

I really want to thank our participating member knifemakers for taking our CKCA mini-show so serious in creating truly special knives at very attractive prices for our members. Just one reason our Thursday banquet has become so popular in such a short period of time.

The CKCA will also be announcing a monumental project at this year's banquet which is without equal in the custom knife community to date. Exciting times!!!!

Another thank you to Chuck Ward for supplying these beautiful knife images.

Thanks Rich.
We have a pretty diverse membership in regard to their tastes in knives, so we try to offer a variety of styles and prices ranges, kind of a something for everyone approach. Or at least as much as possible with 7 makers creating 7 knives.

Dave, Don's created a BIG 17" OAL damascus fighter with (you've probably guessed it) beautiful mammoth ivory. It's also has a tapered frame handle. We should see it shortly.
