question for Chris Reeve/Tom Mayo and others alike..

I was wondering if any of the knife makers out there have 'one of a kind' knives that they have made just for themselves to carry and are unique to the ones that they sale. Pics would be nice

Cool, another Omahan. The knives that become users for me, are typically knives that didnt turn out right, and I didnt want to put them in circulation. The one knife I built just for me was a eight inch combat knife ( see pic ), I built it to what I wanted for me in a fighting knife. Neat thing is that it has won an award for best fighting/survival. -- Charles

Charles,

Sweet lookin' folder ~ and looks as if that one it turned out pretty OK to me !

Please, can you share with us the spec's ?

Next time you mess up a folder like that. . .send it my way. I have a industrial grade folder shreader that I just finished putting together.

 

[tom mayo]

yes I made one just a few weeks ago, sold it the other day, needed money......cant post pics on this site

The folder is actually a shop master, it has never seen service. The big fixed blade was the one I was talking about; thanks for the compliments. Tom, if you want to send the pic to me, I can put it up for ya -- Charles

Wow what a surprise, a local knifemaker posts a response. Charles, do you sale your knives in any of the omaha area shops/stores, or just over the internet? And also, are all of your blades ATS34? (most of the pics dont say what type of metal is used)

 

[C. Marlowe]

No dont really have a local market for my knives right now, most everything is being sent out the door. I will probably start trying to market the knives at Guns Unlimited, as well as a few other gun/sports shops. Ill be at the Fremont show this weekend, and I should have a few knives out.

My primary steel is ATS, but I do use BG42 on request, and I am thinking about using s30v, as well as Talonite, but have'nt decided fully yet.
