I saw PJ, he didn't have anything like that on his table and he didn't remember talking about any bird and trout style knife.
Sorry.
You can give him a call though when he gets home.

I spent the course of two days roaming the aisles and gladhanding makers, knives, and members. It will take me a bit of time, but I'll offer a full report when I do.
I have now learned that in order to take photos in a show the best method (for me) will be a small shirt-pocket digital. I carried around a digicam in a bag, and it was simply too inconvenient to lug in and out in a crowd. And so I didn't use it. Who wants to carry MORE gear around at a knife show...????

Here are a couple more images of that knife Don shared with me before heading east for the show. He is getting some great results with this high-layer damascus.
Anxious to hear Coop's show report at some point.

Kevin, Monday is a holliday, you'll have it Tuseday. Thanks man!
NY was a good show but NYC is not the place for me, my head still hurts. I can't even give a good show report at this time. Man, it's great to be back home in the woods
Guys, it was very good to visit with some of you at the show.

I have anticipated visiting this show for a good while. It's only about an hour train ride from my hometown and a fifteen-minute subway adventure. (Costs less than parking a car to take mass transit, and I get to read, rest, or admire on the way!)
I planned on getting there early on Friday, and remembered that Knifemaker's Guild members get a one hour early pre-admission (12pm opening for this. My day was limited. I had to be back home to coach 35 youth at 4:30pm. I needed to walk out the door at 2:30 prompt. I did and made it. Disappointing to leave at the peak of activity.)
I was there at 11:30 with Riad (RAN) ready to purchase my ticket. We enjoyed knife stories with others in line, and I was probably one of the first three who got tickets. My interest was in getting a Bob Lum folder of some sort (anything he had would have made my interest. I really love his work). I spoke briefly to Bob to let him know, and he said he would open his table at 1:00pm for the general public. Fair enough.
The men allow us in at 12pm and I wander around for a short, making introductions and passing hello's to so many contacts. 15 minutes into this first hour, I made it to Bob's Lum's table: Already there was five guys wearing camo with folded arms camped out right in front. They weren't budging. I asked what their interest was and (knowing Bob only came with two folders) one guys says "I'm first and he's second in line. Yup, we want the folders." The others were backups or wanted his fixed blades. I missed my opportunity to capture a spot, but I wasn't ready to park the entire hour in front of his table. C'est la vie! I shrugged it off as a newbie to this challenge. I have an order in from a year ago. I'll have to wait for it to surface.
Let me backup a moment: My VERY first stop on this tour was a visit to the sideroom to say hi to Eric Eggley from Point Seven Photography. I share a very good relationship with him, and I want to maintain this. I declared my neutrality that I was there as a collector and had NO prospects of drumming up work or diverting work from him. It costs him a lot to do this weekend, and he deserves to earn it back. I made this point to him and scads of makers along the way who asked me if I was doing any photo stuff. Nope. Just here with money, knives, and a handshake. Bring your work in to Eric today. I am really pleased to enjoy our candid talks and view him less as a competitor than as a peer. I have emailed him for tech advice and he has helped me with a couple of issues.
High Dollar highlights:
Michael Walker brought in one piece--a damascus blade tab lock with a fluted blade and handle and some kooky engraving like saturn on it. Price: $10,500 USD. Pick a playing card, for one of 52 chances. I got the 3 of Clubs. At 2:30 Michael Walker chose the 10 of Clubs. (Adam Drescher won it. I'm told he flipped it for an immediate 4k profit.....!)
Next to him was Ron Lake who brough one 'standard' LAKE folder with a bidding sheet. It went above 10K and I believe I will have a chance to shoot this one VERY soon.....!
Kenneth King had a folder with a gaggle of diamonds and gems and gold embedded in it. It had a SOLD sign on it along with the price tag: $54,000.
My absolute favorite folder of the show was a large persian liner lock by Phil Boguszewski that was being offered by Gary Moore. It was a micarta handle and a flipper, but the action and engineering and the finish was in that VERY upper league. So was the price: Well over $2000. Not that it won't sell for that, but it was out of my range. (I own the lockback version of this knife and it's incredible) Gary had a number of Kevin Wilkins' folders for sale too, and when I showed him mine, he wanted to know if I was selling it. Thanks, no thanks. I like Gary and I believe he's a really fair guy.
Other makers:
RJ Martin did quite well, and I brought him my second standard Rampage fixed blade to sell. He had a buyer from Europe before it hit the table. Cool!
Visited with Van Barnett and Dellana. I like these guys and Dellana had some classic folders available.
Barry Davis' teen sons were handmaking titanium chain bracelets. Kinda goth-like wear, but very talented work. Nice to see his support of their craftsmanship.
Spent time talking with Matt and Jo-Ann Lerch. He is doing great work and is versatile.
Speaking of versatile: Tom Overeynder tops my list. He can do the multi-blade slipjoints, the interframe folders, and fixed blades as precise as any specialist. I think he is a MOST deserving maker who is not yet regarded as at the very top. Not so.
Darrel Ralph and Ryan Bailey were both looking MUCH healthier than I had remembered, and they were in great spirits. (Darrel has lost 100 lbs and Ryan 30. Both are still shrinking!) Of course the knives they brought were quick to sell to both dealers and collectors. Nice to see.
Don Hanson III had a few bowies that command attention. You have seen them here. He had VERY nice photos taken, and I am pleased he did so. He showed me a blade he and Anders Hogstrom are collaborating on. This will clobber our senses!
Wes Hibben (Gil's son) had some fighters that really looked great. Stock removal, but wonderful lines. I was itchy for them, but he had a delicate bead-blast finish on them--you know--the kind that leaves a scar if you set it on a coffee table. Dealbreaker. I want to keep my eye on his work, because it was very clean and well-styled.
Des Horn, Bertie Reitveld and I chatted for a while on motorcycles. Bertie had his array of out-of-this-world dragon's skin damascus blades. I like these South African guys. Speaking of such I learned that Louis Van Der Walt passed away in a car wreck months earlier. I had bought a knife from him years ago and had it engraved by Jim Small. I still own it. Now it's even more of a keepsake. Great work by a fantastic man. R.I.P.
After doing chores around the house Saturday morning for my wife, and some photo editing for a client I asked to go back. I didn't get my 'fill'. I needed to justify my return trip again. I love my wife: I caught the 12:36 to Grand Central on time.....
This time I brought some knives with me. I ended up visiting Les Robertson's table and admiring all he always has. there was a J.W. Smith folder in ivory micarta with the same as a backspine that appealed to me. I drew out a 'plain wood handled bowie' that he had originally sold, and with a little extra cash I was now this folder's owner. (I took it over to John to ask about it. He looked it over carefully and mentioned it was one of the earlier ones where he engraved the mark on the blade instead of an etch. He claims it took him an hour plus to do so, and on his production knives it now didn't make sense. Glad I asked, as this added even more value to the piece.) This was the only knife I took away from the show.
I spent time talking with Chuck Gedraitis about stuff. Of all his knives, I feel his most unique knife is his Scagel leather-washer replica folders. He did not have any ready for this show. We are going to work on a project towards this. News as we do. (BTW, I specified brass for the guard. Authenticity requires it.
)
Now my BIGGEST highlight and surprise energy of the show was bringing along my Chinese 'folding subhilt.' I drug it out as it is so unique and I have had little opportunity to show it.
Once I started showing this, one-by-one each maker was calling over their buddies and opening and closing it and simply getting all excited as they marvelled the workings. Zaza Revishvili was astounded and was very impressed with not only the workings ("Brilliant!"), but the sense of flow. Jot Khalsa borrowed it and paraded around for 15 minutes admiring it.
At one point while I was talking with Pat Crawford I saw Michael Walker and Ron Lake in a quiet moment chatting. I came over and said, "Here. Check this out", as I unfolded it and closed it up again. I handed it over. For ten minutes they explored the thing with Jurgen Steinau, Kaj Embretsen, and themselves, like schoolkids who found a dollar under the steps. These masters were really surprised at the workmanship and the engineering. What fun! (Ron seemed to think the maker (Ce Sun) who hails from northern China, might have worked with Paul Chen and the Hanwei Forge group in this area to understand knives as well as he does.)
I spoke with Pat Crawford on a pending order and we will probably have something within the next few months. It's not anything crazy, but I had some specific ideas, making it a true 'custom' piece.
The ride back on the train was quiet as I flicked my JW Smith folder open and closed a bunch of times.

1. Time is your best friend or enemy when it comes to shows. If you really want to get something that is scarce(Lum, Sawby, Young.....)you need to be the first to show up for it, and wait until it is yours. Clear the table of ANY other appointments/priorities(right, Peter?). You are going into battle, the object is to win! This is the only way, unless you get a "Hold/ROFR" commitment.
2. Adam is a good dude, happy to hear he scored the knife, he can use the money!
3. You should get a Havoc from RJ while you still can. Probably one of the best EDC knives that I have ever owned.
4. Congratulations on the attention rec'd for your subhilt folder.
5. What size on the Smith? Pics?
Thanks for taking the time out to write it, you did real good!
Best Regards,
STeven Garsson

Thanks so much Coop. I feel as I were there .
The Chinese Sub-Hilt is one of the coolest knives I have seen. :thumbup:
One weekend I'm going to go back and check out all the great post I've missed before I started hanging out here.

It's good that you can still take a knife on a train. It's interesting how you don't miss the nice simple things until they are gone.

Great Write up Coop I felt like i was there
Its always great visting with friends from the knife world and seeing makers after a years worth of phone calls and emails
Coop I enjoyed our chat and am sorry you missed out on the Lum..after you told me of the line-up I playfully barged my way to the front and asked why everyone was standing around "Bob had promised first crack at either folder...not so funny I was nearly mauled...I didnt stick around to look at the Knives..but Bob does tactical with grace and elegance..
I picked up my Huckleberry from Harvey Dean and Steve Dunn Harvey did a nickle silver scabbard for her that Dunn engraved to match the bolster..He also provided a killer tooled sheath from a Paul Long(?) that is beautifully lined with deerskin to complete a fine package.
Harvey was sporting his AKI pin proudly..Congrats Harv now back to work!
Peter Gill had dibs on the picks from Harvey and Steve..he did great!
Peter you are supposed to sip a beer not gulp it not kidding folks remember that dude on the 70's sit coms that gulpped a beer in one shot..I'm convinced thats PG!
Don Hanson's Bowie still haunts me ..can't talk more I'll cry...
the Hogstrom collaboration is beyond beautiful...
Don dont fight the city embrace her and she will embrace you back
Lake had two knives for auction they fetched beaucoup dollars day one was a cape buffalo Orion with double logo rose gold pins dual shields and tail lock
can you say clean? I knew that you could..
The Walker was intense period
Larry Fuegen was his charming self..had a two folders long gone but we shared stories and chatted about "it all" he is as fine an ambassador as he is man.
John Young this guy is plutonium hot but he is mild mannered and just goes about his thing,he has time for anybody I am happy for his deserved succes..his Lottery drew a big big crowd..he had 5 on the table..including a Ten year knife a micarta Chute stamped with a 10 year mark patterned after one of his first knives ..5 lucky names were pulled but only 4 lucky purchasers present so nother name was drawn..Lucky me! I came home with a lovely stag City Knife!
Tom Overeynder as Coop said is as gifted and decent as they come. Surgical clean workmanship,pearl that'd make you cry!..years past I have always been skunked..sooo this year I did my homework and placed a call..Tom said he would have six all but one appear spoken for..I scored the remaing piece a lovely model 9 slipjoint outrageous pearl raised rose gold pins and tasteful oval shield ..I also placed an order for another..and another..and...
much much more Knife shows are a blast..
I missed a few guys like Jose Reyes and PhilL but I had welcome husbandly duties

Ron, in life we tend to take for granted those of us closest and dearest to our hearts. 
It's ALWAYS a pleasure chatting with you. Sorry I spent so little time doing so. :grumpy:
Thanks, STeven, Kevin, John, Riad, Grapevine, and Suzanne.

BTW, I failed to mention in the High Dollar paragraph, the absolutely KILLER fixed blades that Zaza Revishvili had on display. One was drop-dead fancy with carving on the handle, wire inlays, his metal work on the sheath, and, I think, a Rados Turkish Twist blade. Price for it was : $24,000. Claims Zaza, he will move it at the Safari Club International easily. It was incredibly ornate, yet tasteful. I thought the price commensurate with the work.

Pics? Nada from the show. I find that dragging around anything out of a bag is simply too much trouble, especially in a crowd. And so I didn't even bring my digicam on Saturday.
I am going to invest in a shirt-pocket digicam for the shows. That is the only way I will attempt to get any. BTW, my indoor show pics are worse than anyone else's. :thumbdn:
But, here is the studio shot of the piece I took home....
Nice, huh? It opens and closes like the butter scales it has.

Don't you just love it when you receive your new knife and it's even nicer than depicted in the photo?
Thanks Don.
