THANKS Kerry !
 
Vince,

The swayback is very nice. The paper micarta shows pretty well. The fluted bolsters look deep enough to drive a truck through.

I have an A2 khnutbuster on order from him now.
 
I'm about as proud of this knife as any knife I own. Great workmanship, great design and just a heck of a knife no matter how you look at it.

3 3/4" closed. 52100 Blade and backspring (etched by Kerry).

Those are exceptional Vince, I really love that Desk Knife.

Elliott, the contrast in the patina of the backspring and liners is very spiffy. A wonderful execution of a great pattern. "Just looks right"....

Blues that Lanny's clip is a stand out.
Cheers

Thanks, Mitch and JB. Hold the superlatives until you see Mike Robuck's knife! :eek: ;)
 
I would love to CE and CF Vince and Elliott's Hampton knives. I love the grinds and swedges on that Lanny's. I did get to check out the KHnutbusters at Blade and they're pretty cool.

Kerry has posted these before, but not only do you get a great knife from Kerry you also get killer pictures. This knife is wicked sharp. This was Kerry's second two-blade knife after Vince's swayback.

K-Ho's anyone?
 
Beautiful work Kerry. I really like the old-style swedges especially on the knife shown by Blues. The knife shown by Vince to start the thread looks like the perfect edc IMO. Thanks everyone for showing their knives. I'm eagerly anticipating further examples.

Dang all of you!

Seriously, every knife I have handled of Kerry's has made the ho come out in me.
Mike - yours is at the top of the list. Fair warning - hide it deep in your pocket when you are around me and I promise it will be safe. ;)
