Lets See Some Pure Fighters

Lorien Lorien :

Anything that comes out of CAS's, Ben's, and Larquin's shop are dripping with style and class, among a lot of other great makers. Those particular makers create wonderful blades to me.

while maybe not a 'pure' fighter per se, this Dave Beck Wolverine definitely fits the theme here pretty well

I like the handle shape on that knife, I see the drawing in the back ground, did you design that knife Lorien?
 
did you design that knife Lorien?

no, not by a long shot! That's Dave Beck's sketch, I'm not sure exactly how this knife evolved but from what I understand it was a knife meant for students of Tom Brown's Scout course. Might have been Tom Brown's design, a collab between him and Dave Beck, or all Dave Beck. Or maybe something else. I don't think there were many of them made, (this one's #11). Definitely interested in finding out more! It was a rare incredible score

this 1/4" knife is hefty like a hammer, but the handle feels really good, and it's well balanced due to a tapered tang
