More from Stuart Branson

[Dawkind]

I've had the 'set' for a number of years and I'm sure I have put up pictures of them before but the Fighter is relatively new...only about two years since I got it.

They all have Stuart's 'style' with the addition of a fuller on the later one. Stuart does an exceptional fuller and one of my all time favorite pieces from him is an amazing Boarding Cutlass.

These have wrought guards and spacers along with a cord wrap on Oak handles with an extraordinarily fine sheath to hold them both, these, too are on my 'Favorite List'.

Here's a superb 'little' Fighter, VERY light and fast along with Stuart's exceptional sheath work. The spines are all crowned and all these pieces are nice.

Those are amazing Dudley!

The first set is really nice.. I don't really get excited about the big blades but the first one moves me.

Thanks for sharing them.

Oh man! Those are all beauties. Got my heart racing faster, even though I just had a cup of coffee. Stuart just has the sensibility, style, and ability, that is so appealing to many. Mike

We all have different tastes, I really love the bigger blade but the smaller set is SWEET!

 

[Justin Carnecchia]

So you have those knives! (the oak handled ones that I've admired in pics for several years now)
Stuart does fantastic work. Aside from his obvious technical skill, he has a phenomenal sense of style and design, his work is instantly recognizable.

 

[Steve Nuckels]

Dudley you have nearly ALL the good stuff!

I remember the first few knives I saw that Stewart made, that year I nominated him for the "Best Bowie" can't remember what year now. Love his work!

The oak handle with the wrap is a particularly make me wanna have detail. Of course everything down from the handle his equally superb. Very nicely done. I officially now have knife envy , but I'm glad for you. Dawkind, you obviously have excellent & refined style yourself.

[Lorien]

the peined pins over the hemp wrap is a real head scratcher. He's a wizard, he is.

Thanks for sharing Dudley - a special set

 

[Dawkind]

Had a couple of other pieces out of hiding....the LARGE fullered piece is one I got before this last Chopper with Menuki. The other piece I've had for a while and while not fullered it has a looong flase-edge.

One of my All Time Favorite pieces from any Maker, a Boarding Cutlass that is also one of the sharpest cutting instruments I've ever handled.

 

[RayseM]

No problems getting on the Moscow metro with that in hand
What a beauty

That cutlass is badazz. I am also liking that shorter (relatively speaking) blade.
