New Home for a "Blade" Winner

[marcangel]

This knife has a special story attached to it so I thought I'd share. I have a few knives from Ken Steigerwalt and I really believe he is FINALLY getting the recognition he deserves. Anyway, I introduced one of my partners to knife collecting and he REALLY has the auto bug. I mean he REALLY has it BADLY! I showed him an auto that Kenny made for me about 2-3 months ago and he REALLY wanted it. But since I waited quite awhile for the delivery, I told him it was simply not for sale. To make a long story short he wound up trading me this...

What a beauty! Congratulations on this new addition to your collection.

Thanks Keith. The kicker here was that I actually GOT extra cash out of the deal!?

What great lines and flow between the blade and handle, Killer !!

Thanks! I really couldn't pass this one up. Kenny is one of my favorite makers and trading away my blacklip damascus auto was a bit painful. But owning THE KNIFE that won Best Custom Handle Design at Blade 2006 sorta makes up for it!

That is absolutely gorgeous.
