Ok, What is your first knife purchase of 2008?

Unfortunately nowhere near as glamorous as the rest of you ....a Buck 305 Lancer. Work is VERY knife unfriendly and this one is very small.

My first of '08 is an S.R. Johnson Dirk. I'd post a photo, but I can't post attachments yet.
 
Purchased New Year's morning off "the world's online marketplace." 3.5 closed, D2 steel. I already posted this over in traditional earlier today. :) Have a great year, everyone.

James,
You are right....I spaced. The Buck is neither custom or handmade. Guess I need to punish myself and take your advice:)

My first knife of 2008 was my first Forged Knife. A Stag handled Rock House Trail Bowie from Craig Camerer. Fell in love with it. So much that, I reserved another slot with Craig for a Fall delivery. Just have to figure out what I want next. Now, I am waiting on a Jason Knight delivery now.
 
My first knives of 08 are:

Kevin Wilkins' Paraforce :D:D:D I LOVE Kevin's knives!!
Bob Terzuola (B-day present to myself.) I found one with a 3 inch blade!
 
My first knives 2008 are still on order. :rolleyes::D

First I ordered an integral by german Gerhard "redcloud" Wieland.
www.wieland-der-schmied.de

It`s the bottom one. (The one on top was my own drawings but finally I liked Gerhard`s proposal better!) :D

I appreciate each and every one. I love knives and window shopping and dreaming of owning some of knives by some of the posted makers.
Keep the photos coming, I enjoy them.

I'm saving ALL my pennies for when my turn comes up with Burt Foster- I plan on going "one-time-only" crazy this time! Hopefully a matching set.

What do you think about that beaut?

Hopefully I`ll have it by beginning of next week!? :D
 
Bummer about the water quench. But I want to know about the axe. Who made it? What's the steel? Etc.

Thanks,

John
 
Mine's one of the Gil Hibben JR's, the first 100 are the LTD models, the movie debuts on friday. A large heavy machete type knife, nothing fancy as you all read in Blade but kind of cool though. IMO a little pricey but time will tell, anyone else order one? Any other opinions?:rolleyes:
