Kerry Hampton Knives

A diminutive avian message has come to my attention that a KHam project is undergoing digital reproduction as we speak. I believe I was pre-emminent on the proverbial list for many annual divisions, so my anticipation has reached untold heights.

Translation; a little birdie told me that Kerry was taking pictures of a project he cooked up for me. I've been on his dart board for a while now, but this is surely a bullseye!!
Thank you Mr. Knifemaker!

I'd just like to say, it takes chutzpa to make a pair of knives (a brace if you will). A matched pair has to match!! So you can't fudge the lines; a real test for the artisan. These are lookin' good!
 
Yet again, they look great (big suprise right?).. Are you going to carry them?? Those would go great with a set of matching custom leather pocket sheaths (sp)..
 
Charlie,I see its gonna get tough on EDC choices for you. I bet you can deal with it though :thumbup:
Real nice Charlie & Kerry !

Those are both spectacular. That ivory would match up perfectly with my ivory Swayback from Kerry.

Kerry - spectacular work!!

Charlie - yowser - what a pair.
 
Great work, Kerry! Charlie, been a good month for you, friend. :cool::thumbup:
 
Thanks for the kudos guys. This was my first attempt at a pair and I wish they were a better match. Due to a mishap(I have a lot of those)with the first spear blade, parts ended up being heat treated at different times due to another unfortunate problem we had with Tony's HT oven. If I ever do another pair, they will be brought along together every step of the way.
 
Sorry to hear of the glitches,but honestly,I think a pair of knives is more versatile with two slightly different blades.I dunno,just seems more practical.I think it was meant to be.Sometimes things work out the best way,looking back at it :thumbup:

Vince, the different blades were done on purpose. I just screwed up the first spear blade when I stamped it and ended up making a linerless zulu spear, which is posted up there somewhere. I learned a lot on this project and will do things different if I ever do another set of some kind.
 
That is a stunning pair of knives. Kerry, your work is getting to the :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: level.

Charlie, if you carry one of those, won't you have to worry about the other one getting lonely?

Congratulations to the both of you.
