Hello everyone!
After having too little time to come here and be active lately (thanks, life!
), I thought I'd throw in quick first image of my 2014 custom knife loot (will try to add descriptions and single images later this week, which should finally hold some spare forum time for me again).
I snapped this image (throwing most of my 2014ers together on a pile) for the CKCA forums back in October; there have been some slight changes in the lineup in the meantime:
Since I did not get any studio time at all over the last few weeks I am way behind my "personal collection shots" schedule. I did find some free time at home though, just messing with my play-around-home-setup and non-calibrated netbook
o ). So here I can share some snaps of additions after the group image above was made, as well as one or two outtakes of knives that are allready included above.
First, here's a wonderful piece Jeff Ware made for me (my EDC atm) - it's a Navaja-build, sporting semi-translucent bulls horn and stag scales, a shield made made from an old spanish silver coin and a non-decorated O1 blade with french-gray finish (since it is designed as a user and will hopefully keep rainbow patina away for some time
). The bulls horn sections are underlayed with gold and produce an amazing warm glow, that I could not even touch in the following snap:
Here anoter brilliant one by my friends the Sobrals, a stainless-San-Mail build with beautiful stag. Does not need more words, imho.
Then of course was the greatest gift ever - THANKS so much again to Claudio, Ariel and the rest of the family! Though included above this needed to go in the starting post as well!
The next few pieces were all made for me by my friend Milan Mozolic. He is the one single maker I got most knives from this year. Milan really does make very clean knives and his fit and finish is excellent.
This one was his first ever framehandle knife. It's a smaller knife and sports giraffe bone scales.
The next one is his extended-clip-EDC build with black micarta scales.
Another small utility (will go to a friend for christmas):
The following ones were allready included above. Here is a clean stag hunter:
And a damascus fighter:
These two were included above as well. It's a great set of UTEs, Keith Fludder made for me earlier this year. These two will get more time on their own a little bit later with proper studio images. Love them both, also the sheaths Keith made (will show them later as well):
More images and descriptions to come (hopefully soon).
All the best,
Alex
