Although I wasn't able to go to Blade I have been busy (mainly trading). Here we go with my latest "batch".
First a knife made by Rick Dunkerley.
The blade and bolsters are formed from matching nitre blued damascus. It is a pattern he calls Santa Ana Wind. A citrine is set into the thumb stud. The blade has silky-smooth action. Presentation grade black lip mother of pearl scales are dovetailed to the damascus bolsters for a perfect fit. The dark toned blacklip has tremendous texture and full spectrum flash. 15N20 carbon steel liners have been stippled and nitre blued. The 1084 carbon steel backbar has been hand engraved in a chevron pattern. All screws -- even those on the interior under the scales have been meticulously hand fileworked and nitre blued. The interior of the liners has been mirror polished.
Another one by Rick. Identical to the first one except for the handle material, which on this one is tortoise.
A beauty by Rick Eaton.
This folder features banknote engraving, 24K gold inlay, AND thirty-one white diamonds. As a long-time knifemaker and engraver, Rick Eaton has given this smooth damascus-blade knife a design that adds substantial value to the overall work. The thirty-one diamonds wrap around leaves and golden vines on both sides of this piece. These fine gold vines stem from a three-dimensional scroll of gold, which Eaton created by sculpting the gold inlay. The back strap also shows off a series of diamonds and sculpted engraving, adding a serious design aesthetic that flows nicely into the waves of the Damascus blade.
A Warren Osborne Wing dagger.
This classic Wing Dagger is really elegant. Dagger style ATS-34 blade with blood groove with beautiful Mother of Pearl scales. Blade Length 2 3/4" OAL: 6 3/4'. The finishing touch are the gold pins. This one is on its way to Brian Hochstrat for a bit of his fantastic engraving.
Finally one that Coop already showed on his Blade thread, but can't be missed here. Ray Rybar's outrageous Goblin folder.
