You sure can't go wrong with those Ohta's. I'm up to two now and always on the look-out. Until that time I added my first custom peanut to the stable. Chamblin 154cm - from the Case pattern. Love the b&w stag, and notice the sexy swedges. Bob Neal, hope you don't mind my using your pics. Haven't shot any yet as I just picked this up. I've found Bob to be a terrific source for my addiction. Whoops! I've spilled the beans on my contact...

very nice...

been getting update picts from Ken as my slip is being built...be done soon. Can't wait , can't recall when I was this excited to get a new knife. :)
 
My only three custom slip joints so far. I'll start off with my latest. A Joe Allen serpentine jack I acquired from VCM3. Vince told me this was a great knife and he was right. I've been carrying it almost daily.

Next up are two Mike Aldorf knives. A teardrop jack with worm-eaten bone and a doctor pattern with jigged bone.

Dabnabit Gus, Great Score be sure and have it in pocket when walking around.

Be on the lookout for pickpockets, I know one is coming.:)
 
Jim,

Not sure if you have had a chance to handle Ryuichi's work, but it is exceptional in every way. I will be glad to introduce him to you so you can get on his list. Right now I think it is a little over three years, but very much worth the wait.

This is the 4.5" shield-less sibling to Vince's knife by Joe Allen:

And I've got to agree with Vince, Joe does make a fine knife! :thumbup:
 
Joe's knives always look good to me. I am hoping to see more of his and Jerry Halfrich's knives next week.

So, do either of you wish me to bring my only Halfrich so you can CE & CF it with others I am bringing?

No offer of trade here, not sure I ever posted in this thread my Halfrich, so here she is, as requested. Not sure of the steel but it does have #5 stamped on tang.
