Oeser Knives...

Wow Jared, that coffin jack is stunning. I've never been much of a fan of the coffin pattern til now. Beautiful.
 
It should come as no surprise to anyone following this thread that Jared combines a great eye for detail, artistry and excellence with the tools necessary to bring his vision to fruition.

Back a year or so ago when we were nearing completion on our first project together, Jared and I discussed a couple of ideas for three blade stock and cattle knives to be undertaken when he felt he was ready to take on the challenge.

This evening I received confirmation from Jared that the first of our three blade projects was completed and ready to be shipped.

The pattern in question is the Diamond Edge Cattle Knife which is a coveted pattern made famous around these parts by none other than Tony Bose. This knife represents the first three blade knife built by Jared. He sure took on a handful in doing so.

From what I understand, Jared created his own pattern for the knife by utilizing images of Tony's knives posted here on the forum. Better yet, he had the opportunity to discuss building the knife with the man himself while at the Blade Show. (Correct me if I'm wrong on the details, Jared.)

Anyway, I asked Jared to use black G-10 for the covers as I have been very pleased with the look, effect and durability of the material on two exquisite stock knives built by Richard Rogers. It provides an ebony-like appearance which is virtually indestructible and perfect for every day carry. (And my intent is to put this knife right into the rotation.)

While I don't have this knife in hand as yet, I've little doubt that it will live up to and even exceed the excellent workmanship represented by the wharncliffe trapper Jared built for me last year around this time. Interestingly enough, this will be my second "birthday knife" in a row from Jared. There's a pattern emerging here. Christmas knives from Ken Erickson...birthday knives from Jared. A lovely synchronicity if only in my own mind. :cool:

I'll cut it short here and let Jared fill in the details regarding length, weight, materials and effort while letting the images speak for themselves.

(Edit to add the following info rec'd from Jared: 3 5/8" closed, CPM 154CM blades and springs. Blades are at 62 RC and hand finished to 800 grit. Integral bolsters and pinned shield all stainless hardware. Weight is 3.1 ounces..)

I will, however, close by saying thank you to Jared for taking on the project and bringing a big smile to my face with his notifying me of its completion earlier this evening.

Very nice! Congrats to both Elliott and Jared.
Love the recurve in the small clip blade, I bet it will cut like a lazer :)

I really don't know what to say. That's an amazing looking knife. Swedges.....we have swedges!
 
Thanks guys. I'm pretty excited to be getting this one. I don't think I've had a new knife since last Christmas. :eek:
 
Wow! Thats a real beauty. Wonderful work Jared. Congratulations Elliot. That ones worth waiting for.
Thanks for sharing.

Man, than is one slick looking cattleman. Really really slick. The attention to detail that Jared put into these is amazing. Like angling the nick on the sheepsfoot just a scosh so the swedge and the nail nick don't overlap. The pick of the backsprings with the blades open, from the tip of the spear blade to the tip of the the clip, it looks like its one piece of steel. Beautiful.
 
That's a beautifully made knife. I like the selection of a wharncliffe instead of the typical sheepsfoot.

Thanks everyone and thank you Elliott for posting that. This knife was very intimidating to say the least. It has long been my favorite stock/cattle pattern so I knew I had to build one for my first 3-blade.

This is one I am pretty proud of and I'm happy to be sending to great guy.
 
Elliott that is just a beauty!

What an amazing piece of cutlery.
