I was traveling on business and could not attend. The pics are always fun and help track what's happening...Thank you, Coop! Sorry I missed you and Susan. I have some knives that need your magic. Will be in touch.

Bill, that trio of Hanson's look fantastic together.

The texture and patterns on the Sobral are super.

Hi guys,

Here's the last of the shots we did from the show. I'm firing up the studio today to start a NEW backlog. LOL!

Alexis LeCocq and Simone Fezzardi have collaborated on this familiar theme many times. Although they look similar, this is the fifth of this series to be developed.

This is a fresh approach for Ron Lake. This frame is all titanium, and the blade steel and thumb pad are unetched damascus.

A Wolfe Loerchner piece which was delivered at the show. Sigh...

Daniel Watson built a 'lazer light saber' style and the blade has an etch which means something like victorious or something in Klingon? (We didn't get the written notes and I'm going off of faulty memory. LOL!) @ 42" OAL It is easily the largest sword I have ever photographed.

Thanks again for your views and comments.

Jim & Susan

These knives from THIS show are usually impressively ornate. I love them for that.
