Ok, ok, you’re all waiting to see pics of knives…so…

First stop, Greg Lightfoot to check in and let him know how my new knife is doing (see review part 1 for details). Here’s a pic of Greg with his new knife (nicknamed “Hog Hunter” I think) with 6.5” blade, which is powder coated with the same material used on tanks. A JSP Bladerigger shoulder harness completes the package. Of course, I am holding my new M1 Stellite

Murray feels that Kirby’s knives were among the best buys of the show. Holger expressed his agreement by purchasing this tactical

And this gentleman’s folder. Brian Lyttle who was unable to attend due to an eye injury forged the damascus and did the engraved rosette on this piece.

The "Certificate of Authenticity" is an EXCELLENT idea! (Makers note!) And Peter also has a price tag on all knives that are available for sale. (Makers note!)
