Way back at the 2004 Blade Show I picked up this fighter, one of Dennis Tingle's JS test blades (1084, curly maple and brass)

At the time I thought it might be the start of a collection, but the years have proven that I am not really a collector at heart and I was recently been thinking about selling it on. It was with that in mind that I started to look around for other examples of his work, which I have to say I still really like the look of. There don't seem to be all that many of his knives around (okay, I haven't seen any others on any forum) and no one much talks about them. I can't be 100% certain whether Dennis is still making knives.

So, does anyone else have a D. Tingle knife? Do you know if he is he still making? Most of all, do you have any pictures you fancy sharing? :)

These were the other knives still on the stand at the time.

Wish I had some info for you my man, but I don't. I do like the knife, though.

Dennis is friend of mine and is still making knives as well as swords. He was recently featured in a sword book, the title and authors name escapes me. Unfortunate he doesn't spend much time on line due to his Internet connection(dial up). He lives out in the country and high speed isn't available.
 
Thanks guys! I was sure someone here would know something.
I think his family was going through a rough patch in 2004 and he wasn't able to be at the Blade Show in person. I am glad to hear that he is still making sharp and shiny things.
