Not sure how to characterise...

[joeshredd]

But this set forms the basis of my interests...

How many can y'all name?

 

[Danbo]

From the right, I see: Fisk, Primos, Nealy. Beyond that, I haven't a clue. I like them all though.

 

[joeshredd]

okay.. a little better pic of some of the un-named...

 

[joeshredd]

and the others...

 

[joeshredd]

and Danbo... while we've not yet met, how come I would've guessed you'd be among the first two to respond to this? LOL!!!

 

[Danbo]

Because I don't have a life, and basically live here on Bladeforums. I even live in a "Van, down by the river".

 

[flava]

Is the left one made by Gustavson (SP)?

 

[joeshredd]

Bingo - Johann Gustaffson (I can't spell it either!)

Two more... any guesses?

 

[Wulf]

Looks a lot like my Gustaffson

 

[joeshredd]

Wulf... I was waiting for your response... Yup, looks similar to mine... And mine's the one that started me big time down this path... I was just astonished at the coloration in mine!

Edited to add... I'll leave the guessing on the last two for a little while... if I don't hear much, I'll reveal the last two by the end of the week...

wild guessing here. The MOP-handled knife looks like an Onion Echo or a Ralph Echelon. the little knife with the separate bolsters I'm guessing Charles Gedraitis, just because he does a lot of damascus work & separate bolsters & visible screws. ??

The Gustaffson knives look great!!

Okay... the Goldlip MOP and SS Damascus is by R. Crowder of Montana.

The small twist Damascus (1084/15n20 IIRC) with Mokume bolster and Mastadon bark slabs is by Mark Nevling...

And the little blackened SS Damascus (by Devin T. IIRC)with the wrap handle I picked up at the Blade West show two years ago from Barry Dawson's table...

All the rest were guessed!

Attached is a better pic of the Nevling, taken from the Cutting Edge site when I bought it...
