The assembly of talent at Reno is truly something special. I am hopeful that well get a look at several of the pieces that will be on display there. Makers please post your Reno knives here and let us all have a peek. For anyone that would like, e-mail me your pics with a brief description and Ill post them up for you.
This first group of knives are in various stages of completion. First up from A Master Smith named Fisk, will all be engraved before gracing his table at Reno:
Heres a classic stag Sendero with wolfs tooth pattern damascus:
Next up is a model named Rover as Fisk explains No, I did not name it after my dog. I wanted a name of a knife that was for people who traveled, be it hiking, oing about in the bush hunting, some type of getting about. I did not know how to spell excursionist or how to pronounce it, both words mean about the same, it is for somone hitting the brush. So, Rover it will be. Anyway, Rover here has a 5160 steel blade that was forged from round bar, double tempered, stainless guard with sheep horn handle.
Finally, an upscale version of Jerrys military model with a white one-piece walrus tusk for the handle and a unique fallen ladder damascus pattern for the blade:
Next, from the talented hands of Master Smith Bailey Bradshaw is a very special folder called Pegasus. It is a folding bowie model FB3 with a forged blade of 52100. Pegasus is rendered in copper with a 22k gold mane. There are also 22k inlays that flow off his wings into the scroll work. All the engraving is carved, so it is very dimensional. The entire knife will be hot gun blued after engraving.
Last up for now - here is the engraving work just completed on Fisk's Rover above:
Hopefully we'll have a bunch more knives real soon.
