That is really something!! Wow!!

That is some piece of cutlery. Something that would go on a mantle or display case. Is there a sheath that goes with that?

No sheath. Neil O. is the proud new owner -- perhaps he can tell us if he's having anything special made for it.

Well, I never usually win anything by drawing. For example, in almost 9 years as a dealer, and while attending so many knife shows, I was drawn only twice by Ernie Emerson. (I kept both knives).

However, when Lady Luck did decide to let me have one at Plaza, I was overjoyed to have her tap Chris on the shoulder and let him draw my name.

This is a treasure that I will not sell. Not only because of what it is, but more because of my friendship with Chris. I guess for this and other reasons I was meant to have it.

To answer the question of a sheath, I do not think so. This is a collector piece and one that must be seen and handled to appreciate its real beauty. Mitch and FOOJ know what I mean.

As many of you know, Chris was and still is an accomplished Custom Knife Maker. However, with the company having achieved the success that it has over the last 15-20 years and his time spent in R&D and other functions, he has little time, if any, to make knives like this one. A real shame, in my opinion.

One of the neatest comments made about the dagger at the show was by Mick Strider. He came over to Chris’s table after I had won it and looked it over carefully. After complimenting Chris on the style, beauty and workmanship, he burst out saying. “MAN…THAT MUST HAVE BEEN A BITCH TO SHARPEN!!”

As always, the extra touch was provided. Here is the certificate that accompanied the knife.

Take care, Neil
