My Blade '08 Thread

[VCM3]

I'm putting it here,in the trad forum.Elliot & Gus,don't even think about moving it ! BTW,nice meeting you guys

First off,Scott & I had a blast,we're almost fully healed,I still have a lot of follow up stuff to do.We met a heap of great people,all "Quality",as Scott put it

I have most all the knives here now,except for my Kerry Hampton desk knife & I am sure he will add pictures here & Kerry,you are tops,in my book,even though in my world,there are no books,lol

Not traditional,but,just the same,one of Scotty's classy scores :

Next up,Tom Goodpasture miniature Santoku,white bone scales.This SS starts out with tapered stock,makes for a thin grind.Notice the top of the tang is thicker than the bottom.Riad,I threw some implements in there for size.I'd recommend something bigger foir everyday practical kitchen use,but I could not resist this lil' guy & the price was real great

This size chopper comes in handy when dicing & mincing smaller amounts of stuff,like garlic,or dill.

Antique bone from Germany ,CPM M4 steel.Old & new,great design

Elliott,we'll grease the tracks for ya' :thumbup:

No nonsense hunters.Great prices,very high quality work.
I think Durwood is claming the canvas one.Nice leather,too

These knives have sharp deep hollow ground blades & tapered tangs.Great feel to them.

I purchased this,as a gift to Scott,his birthday coming up & a token to remember the first Blade Tim Britton is a Gent & craftsman,along with a great businessman

This is a baby bullet lockback,stabilized camel bone scales,BG-42 flat ground blade,and engaved bolsters by Jim Small Scott keeps calling these rayskin pouches Skate pouches Tight & crisp action & lock

 

[Mike Robuck]

Nice haul, Vince. I know you worked hard to get them. My birthday is coming up too and I met you at Blade for the first time. Just sayin'

 

[Blues]

Great knives, Vince. :thumbup:

(And Neeman, stop givin' away my secrets! )

While hangin' with Waynorth (Charlie,it was a pleasure),he introduced me to Art Greene,of the NECCA,Scott spotted this tiny, unique ,custom pen knife
I think it is 2-7/8" closed.Fileworked liners,blades like little thin scalpels.Pretty bone.You ever see one like it ??

Well,for now,that's all
It was great to meet you guys,you know who you are.I hope I can do it again.

Nice selections Vince.

btw, what kind of grease do you prefer to use on the tracks...natural organic or petrochemical?? Got any samples?

Wow Vince,

Spectacular!. Each and every one of them. :thumbup:

My favorite of the bunch was the Houser slippy. Never have handled his knives but that bone is some real eye candy if'n you ask me.

 

[VCM3]

Wait 'til you see the Hampton
sunnyd,you should feel that knife in your hand.What a great EDC pocketknife.
John does a super job,at a fair price & always has some nice bone on hand
