Don, I gave up on trying to select a favorite of yours, just too many I'm crazy about.

Kenneth, some real beauties in your selections.

Karl, my favorite of yours is the Krazy Maple and Damascus Hunter with the Scott Teasechner sheath.

Lin, it's between the big Southwest Bowie you posted and this one for my All Time Favorite of yours:

Stanley, doesn't look like you are amature from the two knives you posted above.

Chuck,

Yesterday, I was trying to find an image of your 'Scagel' folders shown above. ^^^

Those deserve revisiting. One of my ALL-TIME-FAVES from you.

I'll add to this thread tonight.

Great thread Kevin. I love looking at all those incredible knives!

My favorite John white...

My Favorite Peter Martin. A Bill Moran Persian tribute...

My favorite Anders Hogstrom Jet Persian Fighter...

 

[PIndelicato]

I don't spend nearly as much time at this as I'd like to, so my output is low...hope it's OK to participate with the pros here. I apologize in advance for my photography skills (or lack thereof!)

This is probably my favorite one so far and almost kept it, tried some new things with both knife and sheath and was pleased with the outcome (think this was #12 for me or so?)

This one was just 'fun'...a small pocket fixed blade with one of my first hamon attempts and the kind of knife I'm likely to actually carry and use.

This was a cool project for a guy who wanted 3 similar knives for his 3 young sons. He had their names and birthdates engraved on them

My first try at a scandi grind / 'bushcraft' style knife. I was pleasantly surprised at how it turned out and love the rich color in the ironwood scales. (Thanks to RyanW for the classy, pro-quality photo!)

 

[Logan Pearce]

Wow, those are all amazing knives! I can see why they are your favorites.

 

[Karl B. Andersen]

That is fantastic! :thumbup:

My Favorite Peter Martin. A Bill Moran Persian tribute...

 

[Kevin Jones]

As I stated earlier, it doesn't seem possible to choose my favorite Hanson fixed-blade but believe this is my favorite of Don's Folders, just slightly beating out my Hanson Auto Dagger.

Have always loved this Bill Ruple piece.

 

[Kevin Jones]

Wow! Very nice and SUPER Ironwood IMO!

 

[J. Doyle]

Wow. I've never seen this before. Maybe one of my all time favorite folders by anyone..........ever. Very nice!

 

[John M Cohea]

Fun Post Kevin!The set you posted(thanks,BTW)was one of my favorites also.Here are a few more of my favs that I have made.

 

[Don Hanson III]

Kevin, those would be my two favorite folders today. I had forgot about the black ivory piece...That black fossil walrus ivory is crazier than any I've used, or seen. The ivory on your auto dagger is off the very top shelf too.

Thanks John Doyle!
