Greetings all,
For some time Jason Knight has been high on my "I can't believe I don't own one of his knives and simply must do somthing about it" list.
Well, there could hardly have been a better place to do something about it than Blade. For the big forged knife collector, Jason's table was a dream - an armful of fighters, bowies, subhilts and camp knives.
The type of knife I had in mind was exactly the knife I bought - a recurve fighter with Jason's signature raised clip:
This knife features a 9" blade with an overall length of 14", contoured ironwood handle, stainless double guard with copper spacers.
Here is a shot of the maker and the knife:
And a peek at some other goodies from his table:
Next up is an elegant bowie by the incredibly talented John White. John's table was another bowie-lover's dream come true with some really appealing offerings.
This particular piece stopped me in my tracks with its graceful, flowing lines, wicked hamon and palm-filling hunk of stag:
This knife features an 11" blade of W2, overall length of 16", stag handle and nicely-detailed fittings of stainless steel and damascus.
Here is a shot of the maker with the knife:
And a peek at some more goodies from his table:
That recurve chopper would have been just as welcome, but was already spoken for.
Both of these makers had a very successful show in terms of sales and awards. Jason picked up two - Best Bowie and the Moran Award. John picked up the Best Damascus award for a stunning dagger. My thanks and congratulations to both of these fine makers.

,is just as nice.
Jason and John are kind of the new superheroes of the Blade Show, so it would seem. That Knight not only has Jason's signature raised clip, but also his signature spine grind:thumbup: Are you going to have to build an addition to house all of these big bowies?
