I am seeing alot of knives from you personal collections. While that is ok, i would be curious which other knives appeal to you.

If you really cant decide, just go for it and post more from the same maker. I will probably do the same.

Without question, the folder on the right influenced me into Custom Knives. I would still consider it the top folder among folders, if I had to make a choice. Just superb! :thumbup:

Quite understandable, Coop, my friend, you are well known for
your good taste...

I too think that the design of "Wings" by Wolfgang Loerchner is one of
the most outstanding among many many modern custom folding knives
made in recent years anywhere in the world!

No doubt those are great clean looking knives. However I would be afraid to hold them with out gloves on.

Thank you Roger.
