Greetings all,

These two knives recently completed the journey from the Little Rock show, to Paul Long, to Coop, then to me. I'm happy to have them home. :)

First up is the Bowtie Fighter by John White, MS. A shade under 6" for the bowtie damascus patterned blade on this one, with African Blackwood handle. A quick blade and scary-sharp to boot:

Next is the Tuxedo Vest Fighter by Kyle Royer, JS. This knife isn't camera-shy - you've likely already seen Caleb Royer and Chuck Ward's fine shots of this piece, but now you get to see it with Paul's most excellent rig. A shade over 6" of stunning feather damascus for the blade, damascus fittings with gold-inlayed ferrule, walrus ivory handle. An elegant gentelman's fighter if ever there was one.

Very clean and exciting execution of the steel and
overall design on both knives, Roger.

The kind of knives that give you the feeling of classic
knife design perfection... And the photography brings this out well!

All the best,
David Darom (ddd)

Congratulations with these beauties Roger!

Kind regards,

PS. Nice pictures too!
 
Both are of a quality that makes you want to go back and look again. Nice Choise(s)! These two make the long trip to Little Rock well worth while by themselves.

Hope that you will be at the show again next year. It was good to meet you.
