My favourite customs.

[Idlewild]

I have always admired Bud Westons knives (Weston Knives) and these two are perhaps his most beautiful. The first is a fixed blade (5 inches) fighter with African Blackwood scales, tapered tang, file work and engraving by European artist Ms.Vlada Kilhavcova. Bud also made the two piece sheath. I was told that this was the first knife he made that convinced him to continue with full-time custom knife making.

The folder was made for me after sketches and discussion. It is, imho, the quintessential "gents" folder, with a 4 inch Rose pattern Swedish Damascus blade, titanium liner, extensive file work, presentation grade Mother of Pearl and engraved by Vlada Kilhavcova.
