Shank in W-2 and Mammoth Ivory

[John White]

Something for your Wall Street derivatives broker to protect himself from the investment bankers in the next cell:

4 1/2 inches of leaf-shaped W-2, stainless guard, pommel, and file-worked spacers and liners, "W" damascus collar, finial, and frame spacers, blue-green bark Mammoth scales.

Actually, this is the third of a trio, Fighter, Hunter, Dagger, in the same W-2, Mammoth, and trim. All three won't fit in the hollowed-out book.

Can anyone contribute some duct tape?

Tad, Here are some old photos of the other two. This is one of those projects that stretched out over a couple years. Maybe I can get the client to have the three photographed together.

Is that the little dagger blade you had with you at Little Rock? Man, what a honey of a little knife. I love a hamon on a dagger blade, and this is one of my favourites. What a terrific finale to a great matched set. A pro group photo is a must, IMHO.

That stuff has class. And very nice shank.

Great Stuff, John!

 

[Kevin Jones]

Very nice trio John.
Really enjoyed coon fingering them in Little Rock.

WOW! Those just have to be photographed together, what a phenomenal trio of blades. John, you never fail to awe me. Your work is spectacular.

 

[BRTATCK]

Another awsome knife. Very cool John. Shank? I am thinking a Florida toothpick. Great work.

That's just phenomenal. I love the dagger especially.

Since you are no longer incarcerated you don't have to call them shanks or wrap the handle in duct tape anymore. Here on the outside we would call it a pointy knife.

Just teasing you.

Great looking dagger. I really like the leaf shaped blade and the pattern of the Hamon. Handle and fittings look great as well. OK, I like everything about this one. My opinion is it is the nicest one of the 3 piece set.

 

[Jon Brand]

OH MAN!!!!!!!!! I just almost died and I blame John White.

 

[Mike Quesenberry]

SO SWEET! Damn you do some fine work.

 

[SBranson]

Geez John... you never cease to amaze me. I keep staring at that blade with the elongated ace of spades shape. The plunges into the tight recurves and so flawlessly done. I have trouble imagining the control of the bevels. Wow.

And that bowie is so pure classic you.. Gorgeous. The hunter rounds out a truly wonderful trio.

 

[Danbo]

Awesome! Just awesome.

 

[Dusty One]

Beautiful Dagger.....
What a trio....Those three Beauties together !

 

[peterinct]

AWESOME dagger John! Each one of the three is exceptional on its own, and that set of three....WOW
