Claude sent me these pictures of a knife he's finished. He's making his first trip to Atlanta and The Blade Show this year and I'm very sorry I'm not going to make it this time around to meet him personally.

This is one of his Camp Knives, San Mai with a spring-steel cutting edge supported by 200 layers of 02 and 15n20. 11" over all length sporting a blued carbon-steel guard and Arizona Desert Ironwood sculpted handle.....very nice, IMHO.

I'm a HUGE fan of Claude's work!! Unfortunately I won't make it to Blade this year either... Hopefully lots and lots of great pictures are taken.

Very cool knife.
I am very fond of Claude's knives.
He just finished one for me as well.

That's pretty sweet! Blade and handle alike.

Claude does some amazing work. One of my favourite bowie sized knife makers.

I love this grind and blade shape too. ^

I have become a great fan of his work over the last year.

Thank you for sharing these, Dudley. That is some of the most attractive desert ironwood I've seen. And the darkened guard compliments it perfectly. I also love the aggressive blade shape of the L6 hunter. :thumbup:
