I Love Her, my Hanson Sub Hilt

[r connally]

I was speechless when I saw Coop's picture and stunned when she arrived at my house! Blade 11 3/4 " Overall Length 17 "

This is classic "picture is worth a thousand words" so I'll just say Don, I Love Her!!! and Coop, you're the master.

 

[Keith Montgomery]

You should love her, she's a beauty.

 

[Kyle Royer]

[Don Hanson III]

[Bastid]

What is not to love? .

Just another knife from Don, so ya gotta love it, but this one get a little extra from me.

 

[tritiuminator]

Very nice... Well done Don

 

[Kevin Jones]

Super hamon, beautiful ivory and that particular damascus for the fittings really does it for me.
She's a BIG un too.

Congrats Rob on a beautiful new knife and to you Don for hitting a homerun with every swing. :thumbup:

 

[Doug C]

I think most all of Don's knives are exceptional, this one is fantastic.
Congrats on a fantastic Sub Hilt, Rob.
Is this the largest Bowie/fighter you ever made, Don ?

[Don Hanson III]

Doug, I've made a bunch from 12" to 14" so no, not the largest.

Thanks for the good words, folks!

 

[Kevin Jones]

Don are you stamping all your knives "MS"' now?

 

[RogerP]

What's not to love? Major league Hanson awesomeness!

[Karl B. Andersen]

Don are you stamping all your knives "MS"' now?

I wondered the same thing.......?

 

[r connally]

Thanks all for the kind words everyone! I feel very fortunate to have her.

Kevin; Don isn't using his MS stamp much. I paid an additional $250,000 each for the 2 knives he stamped for me . Seriously, I think there are 3 knives he's stamped. One is a collaboration jem with Russ Andrews. Would love to get my mitts on that baby.

Doug; I purchased the attached Godzilla of a Hanson from Ari Fisher last year. It sports a 13 inch blade and is 18 1/2 inches overall. It's like the Barrett 50 caliber of Hanson fixed blades! Anyone else have behemoth Hanson's? Please post 'em!

 

[JParanee]

That is just a spectacular wicked looking knife definately off the charts

 

[Don Hanson III]

Kevin, Rob's right, only used the stamp three times. Twice for Rob, cause he pays real good!

 

[Chefget]

Might just be my favorite knife I've seen on this forum...
