No offense.......but I'm bored

[cnas122]

Although I love all the old knives being shown, all the new knives being made by our great makers......I'm looking for something else. Show me something crazy cool that is traditional, but doesn't come up in this forum. Kinda like the opposite of the rare occasion where a slippy shows up in the Custom Forum...it still fits because it's a custom, but its not what you normally see. So show me something over here...I'm not talking about limited production patterns, or neat colored scales....show me something "traditional" that I haven't seen before. Some of you might have to reach in your safe and pull out a knife that you didn't want to make public or didn't want anyone to know that you had....but come on and do it for an old friend

Hey there Campbell, here is a traditional that looks a bit different..My Tony/Bose collaboration knife with a spring that blew out... hey...the knife isnt different, but Im guessing we havent seen too many like this...

Or..what about my 1850's Bowie, has mint etching...nice conditioned civil war era'd knife, with original sheath...

or my cool Vintage Robeson ....

What about my cool William Rodgers....13 inch lovely knife..

Or this night that Fes ( above) visited...( which had me having a bit of a sick moment behind the garage in early hours )

TOTALLY breaking the boundaries...but this is a Traditional firemans axe lol ( bloody cool )

Ha!.... to be honest..I picked it up in the morning and it was like that!!...couldnt believe it!!..sent it to Case, took months!..got it back with absolutely no snap...took quite a few cleans before it regained some sort of snap...good now though...

Good thread idea :thumbup: ,sorry for your boredom ,I hope it gets cured. Pretty cool knives being shown.

I'll add this one.Its about 40 years old,made in Italy & is a replica of the real ones made about 10 to 20 years prior,so I am told.
A very thoughtful gift ,given to me,as well.It was purchased by a friend at Blade 2011,this past June,off another Italian,a knife dealer from Staten Island & it was great to see him as again & doing fine.It was amongst a case of knives,it made it there because he found it interesting as well.

It's a bird hunters shell pull knife

Ugh! That is horrible! Thats one of my favorite knives of all time. Man, I hope that doesn't happen to mine...

Here's a picture of Campbell presumably not bored at the Blade Show four or five years ago. He needed a slot machine handle on the ATM out in the lobby, but then it ran out of money anyway. (Charlie/Waynorth, John Hanlon, Jim Todd, Campbell.)

Posted before, but same knife, opposite sides closed:

Here's an unusual one that was made for me by Ken Coats, although I've shared it before.
