Harrigan French Hawk - forged clay tempered head (that's his wife's hair decorating it)

Brend 6.5" #2 - known Walter all these years and never got one of his knives from him before this :rolleyes:

McRae ebony/silver damascus Highland Gentleman's Knife - When Mike McRae says hand made he means it, right down to the hand hammered damascus :eek:

Dempsy Bowie S30V/burgandy micarta - My daughter picked the first knife we got from David (2.5" OAL green same' wrap mini tanto) so I got to pick this one.

Carter hand forged santoku - Ethan Becker took me by the arm and led me to Murry's table so that I could buy the knives he uses to cook with :D

Sowell handforged damascus/ivory german prostitute's dagger with blacked silver sheath - my wife bought this one:rolleyes:

Paul Duncan mirror matched folder fixed blade pair with silver G-10 and C-fiber - great young maker with a sleeve full of tricks for making a folder feel like it rides on magnetic bearings. http://thehighroad.org/attachment.php?s=&postid=332083

Thanks guys. Sorry I missed you. I was the little round man wearing the loudest Aloha shits there (I had one maker ask me to "take the batteries out of that thing" so he could see) skurrying around like the Rabbit in Alice In Wonderland .

I was pretty well tied up with meetings and helping with the DCCA booth most of the time and the seminar ate up Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning so I didn't get around as much as usual. There was a great Finnish Puko maker that sold out Friday before I could get back to his table and others tht I just couldn't budget for. Paul Duncan looks like he's going to take off so I picked up several of his pieces to "pimp" and a couple to hold.

See you next year.
 
I've got a couple of Murray Carter's myself and love them. Great knives in the kitchen and a great value too.
