Gabe, will you marry me....if it's OK with my wife? Adoption is also an option. Kevin

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Me too. Problem is it doesn't replace the two things I forget each day. DOH!

I was hoping Gabe would chime in and give us a little more insight on his selections.

Coop, I think that Gabe is letting those thousand words per picture speak for themselves

But I also think of these particular knives in a separate category, one being more artsy than knifey in the practical sense. While I can truly enjoy the lines and thought that went into the creation of these works, they are not my cup of tea. I've owned knives that COULD cut but I'd not cut because I had spent so much on them that I dare not, which is silly but when I finally realized I spent too much, I was able to sell them in as good as condition as I had received, if I had went about chopping and slicing this and that, I'd have lost a great deal in value, but maybe, I might have enjoyed how well they had cut too, so...it's sometimes a tough nut to crack, knives of artistic value.

All aside, Gabe you have taken hold of the knife world in a grand fashion! May you live long and enjoy each and everyone!

ps edited to add; Gabe if you'd like a beautiful knife with an exceptional edge, contact Brian Lyttle of Canada, met him several times, what a character he is! And his knives are quite keen!!! in almost every sense!

Gabe will probably see Brian when he attends the LV show next weekend. Brian will have exclusively tanto tacticals that are beyond the pale as well as the most wicked (midsized japanese style sword--w....) and I'd bet Gabe would love it.

here are a few examples of Brians knives

mammoth ivory scales, ATS34 blade, engraved by maker with garnet stone.

small tanto, 1600 layer damascus, ebony, n/s fittings and citrine jewel in the butt

here is what Brian calls the Scalper--very sharp damascus with stag handle and with the removeable butt cap, the knife comes apart in 4 pieces.
