NOTE: I double posted this darned thing. Sorry, I didn't mean to spam. Can we get rid of this one?

I'm getting all geared up for the show. The first photo already appeared in Danbo's thread, but this one has descriptions. Here's what I have so far in carbon steel:

  • El Camino Royale. Forged from 1084. Rounded spine, three piece guard of stainless and copper, stainless Corby bolts, Ring Gidgee, stainless escutcheon.
  • Special Platypus. Forged from 1084. Rounded spine, bold temper line instead of the usual satin finish, fileworked thumb groove, nickel silver hardware, Curly Maple.
  • Bird & Trout. Forged from 1084. Stainless hardware, fileworked thumb groove, Ringed Bow Yakka.
  • Montero. Forged from 1084. Bold temper line, fileworked thumb groove, Arizona Desert Ironwood, Stainless hardware.
  • Montero. Forged from 1084. Satin had-rubbed finish, fileworked thumb groove, Thuya Burl, Stainless hardware.
  • Large Clip point hunter. Forged from 1084. Stainless hardware, black canvas Micarta. This one is field grade. The blade, guard, bolts, and handle are all hand finished with a maroon Scotchbrite pad. That makes it an easy cleanup. If any cleanup is needed anywhere on the knife, just grab the Scotchbrite pad.

Now I'm working on the damascus offerings. Just finished this one tonight:

Damascus Montero. Stainless hardware. Fileworked thumb groove, Sambar stag.

This stag was one of about 100 sets found in a box in a warehouse a few years ago. The owner supposedly had the warehouse for 25 years and the box was apparently there before he took over the warehouse.

I've been sitting on this one for 3 years, so theoretically it could be 28 years old.
 
Those are all very Hot knives you've got there, Terry. I like the semi-ladder pattern in your damascus. Very similar to Fisk's wolf tooth, sort of. Or is it?

Wow! That damascus Montero is absolutely stunning!:eek: Nice work on all of them Terry. I like the platypus with the temper line too. Danbo is really gonna like that mega hunter!
 
Thanks guys.

Charles,
Yes, they are all mortise tang construction.

Clint,
Yes, it is a variation on Jerry's wolf tooth Damascus.
 
And yes, Danbo IS going to love that big, honkin hunter!

Man, I can't believe how hyped up I am for this Little Rock show! I'm hopping around like a spyder monkey on crack!

:D
