Big Rick from England asked me to post these here for the benefit of the makers and anyone else interested.

1. Is a big one 11 3/8" blade from Bud Richards over Arkansas way. Don't know the steel, but I think that handle is mighty pretty piece of Desert Ironwood. The sheath was thrown together using Chestnut veg. tan leather with an Ostrich Leg inlay, and chevron overlay.

2. Same knife out of the sheath.

3. Mike Craddock offering, 8 1/4" blade and some beautiful damascus topped off with a creamy ivory handle. Sheath is russet veg tan with a dark brown FullQuill Ostrich inlay, and the chevron overlay.

4. Same knife out of the sheath

5.7 1/8" blade from Mike Quesenberry. I think the handle is Palm, but whatever it is, it's very striking.

I could only post five photos per post so check next in line for some more. MORE PHOTOS IN POST 4

Rick has himself some fine knives and terrific sheaths. I'd love to see an unsheathed pic of that last piece with the black palm (?) handle.

damn, you're good!
 
Here are some more photos pertaining to the post above.

1. Mike Quesenberry's Palm (?) handle out of the sheath. This sheath is brown veg/ tan with Black Shark inlay and chevron. Colors pick up the handle colors very well.

2. Another one from Mike Quesenberry. This integral is the smallest one of the group at 6" worth of blade. Gorgeous wood!!! This sheath is Russet veg. tan and I felt that this knife would look good with a tooling only embellishment.

3. Same knife out of the sheath.

I thank you and Rick thanks you for looking.

Paul, thanks for posting these for Bud and both Mikes. That is the first time that I have seen the Black palm knife with hamon side on, I bought it of Mike sight unseen I knew it would be good, I think that this is the ninth knife I now have from Mike with quite a few more coming.

Tim Hancock told me to buy as many of Mikes knives now as I could afford to as in a few years time they will be much much more money!!!

Got to say Paul you really nailed it again with the sheaths, excellent work once again.

Thanks Paul - and congrats Rick. I recognized the Richards, but was scratching my head on the damascus Craddock - all very nice.

Nice work as usual, Paul. I will be sending one your way pretty soon for a pair of traveling pants for a trip to the same vacation spot in the UK. :D. A new and improved version of the smaller piece from that stag pair you helped me out with for the Belgian show a couple of years back.
 
Paul, thanks for the great work on the sheaths.

Rick, thanks for being such a great customer and easy to work with.:thumbup:
