A couple of months ago, I ended up picking up a rare Carson Hawkbill. It has the ti-handles and stellite blade. Kit said only 10 were made, and no two were alike.
About 2 weeks ago, I took delivery of two more beauties. One of them is the rare Carson M4 auto. This particular auto has grooved black linen micarta scales and a ti bolster with clip point ATS 34 blade. This knife is one of 34 made, and is serial #2. Kit has #1 in his collection. This knife was owned by Jody Carson, Kit's son, and Jody eventually traded it to the collector I bought it from.
Last but not least, is a 1 of a kind tanto belt/neck knife. The blade is titanium with titanium carbide inlaid into the edge. The handles are titanium overlays. The knife came with a Sigmon kydex sheath and certificate from Kit stating it's authenticity, as the knife is sterile.
These are Carson's number 5, 6, and 7 in my collection, and I hope to add many more.
I just realized my gold membershp has experied and I need to re-up, so I am having a buddy post the pic until I can do that.

PS: edited to add the pic James attached below

Here is JR's Carson trio. As a fellow Carson collector I'm very jealous. Great knives!

Great looking trio,JR.The tanto is very unique.I'm hoping to take possession of my 4th Carson next week or there abouts.Their is something very special with that man's knives.:) He's okay too.;)
 
:eek: 3 Carson's that we definitely don't see very often !

Those are the best snag's that I've seen someone get in several years !

Being a gatherer of M4's. . .I prefer the M4 auto. :D

Congrat's on the new additions !
 
Jeremy,

Nice collection you got going there. There is however, one thing missing to make it truly complete....A SEBENZA!!! HAHAHA! :D :D :p ;)

Do you have any other Carsons in the works for Blade?
 
Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words. The pictures suck, but the knives are great. And yes, those are rub marks and scratches on the hawkbill from carry. That thing just begged me to put her in my pocket, and I gave in.
Ken, nothing on order, but that isn't going to stop me from trying to snag a piece or two from Kit. If he has anything in stellite, especially an m21 or m4, I'm gonna try and snatch it up.
Also, Kit is hoping to have some of the mid-tech line ready to sell at Blade, and I definately want to add at least 1 to my collection.

The price of Carson knives has plummeted (economy and all), those aren't worth much anymore. But, since I'm such a nice guy I'll take the whole lot off your hands for $100. :D
