I figured that I ought to show you all something very special I received for my 18th birthday. It was a complete surprise to me and I owe thanks to my dad for that. In a way, it celebrates three important events in my life: the date of my Eagle Scout Court of Honor, my graduation of High School, AND my 18th birthday.

The knife cannot be properly captured in a picture.....and mine certainly do it no justice!:thumbup:

Lamont Coombs, a good friend of mine, from Bucksport, Maine is likely the most talented and versatile knifemaker I know on a personal level. He does great neck knives, sweet tactical EDC's, traditional Randall-inspired hunters, slick fighters and everything in between. His fit and finish is as good as it gets and I rarely have ever handled a sharper fixed blade.

Well, enough talking, here it is!:D

Showing off the wonderful sheath that compliments the knife so well!

Congratulations on ALL.

A very nice knife and sheath package. Is this your first custom?

Kevin, in a word, no.....I have many, many more custom knives. This one, however, is in a class of it's own due to the complete surprise I had receiving such an incredible piece of cutlery. It really is hard to describe how perfect this knife is!:D

That's great.
The custom knife community could use a lot more young collectors like you. :thumbup:
 
Great looking knife and congrats on the Eagle Scout and Birthday. Maybe a nice Shadow box display would do it justice.
 
Congratulations on your achievements, your birthday and on your knife from Lamont! It is a Beauty!
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone! :)

Here are a few more pictures.....enjoy!

I really cannot over state how much I love this knife. It melts into my hand and the blade shape is incredible to behold with the polished spine and satin hollow grinds! :cool:
 
WOW!! That's really unique and something special. Congratulations on all of your achievements. Your dad must be very proud of you
 
Big time congratulations to you my friend!! You have a lot to be very proud of!! I am very proud of you too. Happy 18th B-day!!
 
Happy birthday, whenever it was. That looks like a nice knife and the shape is pretty appealing to me.

I agree with Kevin that more kids need to get into custom knives. Its been way to hard to find people near my age who are into this. I live in NY though so maybe thats the problem.
 
That's a very nice gift!

And congratulations with your 18th birthday!

Kind regards,

Jos
