Any of you used or handled one? Opinions appreciated!

I have a Keith Kilby damascus blade in a silver filigree scabbard by Zaza Revishvili. Keith's work is very nice and it's no secret why he earned his ABS master smith rating.

Cheers,

Keith lived in Georgia for a while, so I have been lucky to have gotten to know him a little over the years. He is an A.B.S. Mastersmith and was featured in Georgia Public TV had a production on smithing.

Most knives I have seen of Keith's are a large variety of fixed blades and his favorite seem to be stag bowies. I would love to add one of his to my collection some day. My friend Blues beat me to one

He is also known for beautiful and serious working damascus.

Not only does he make beautiful blades, they are performers as well. He has always been a gentleman and willing to share his knowledge of the art. I would say you can have complete confidence in any product that Keith produces.

Thank you for the beautiful scan Blues, and everyone else for your positive input.

I plan now to write to him directly, by snail mail (Keith doesn't have a website, does he?).

Best regards.
