Ron Best continues to escalate...

As does Nick Wheeler...

And Michael Burch...

Michael and Jody teamed up. Look VERY closely at this thematic 'story'. Creepy.

Dan Dugdale

(That's a little free spinning ball in the handle. Why? Because it's kewl.)

Lastly, a fave from Chuck Gedraitis. So nice I could not send the stag version back.

The following knives make no apologies for being 'safe queens'. I'd keep them safely, also.

I am speechless )))!
Can't even say which one is the best.
Jim- great work and lot of creativity. Thank you.

 

[Jim McGuinn]

Wow Coop these excellent photos are both inspiring and intimidating. Truly works of art, have you ever considered putting them in book form?

I heard that Bill Mace Imel at present time is far from knifemaking for medical reason. But saw the picture of his beautiful knife here and now hope that it was all wrong.
Is it his new dagger, or one of the oldies, and just a new photo?
I did not see too many of his daggers lately and can't recall seeing this one before.

 

[SharpByCoop]

Dalex67: I think Billy Mace Imel is back in good health and making knives again. Good for all!

Jim: if you read back a few pages this has been a nagging topic. I need to MAKE time. Possibly this winter.

Thank you all.

The NYCKS has actually been in NJ overlooking Manhattan for the past three years, and until the NYC knife laws get more lenient, it will remain (smartly) in Jersey City.

Susan and I worked this show and created an entire NYCKS display thread with the images.

Click to view this outstanding Show!

If that wasn't enough imagery for you, continue on down...

I ran busy in Oct and Nov right up to the show ^^^, and had finished a score of studio projects, many which haven't been shown.

I'd like to show them here, now.

Ron Best

What would you think a Ron Best 'tactical' would look like? Imagine this.

Sergei Bobkov and Konstantin Pushkarev. The Russian knife community loves richness!

Kevin Casey: always pleases the eye and the hand...

As does Mike Craddock.

Todd Davison in warm wood...

...and colorful synthetics

Barry Lee Hands takes a solid Warren Osborne folder and creates a museum-quality heirloom

Robert Kaufmann: One of the CKCA 2012 Award winners for mastery and innovation. What a blade!

Terry Lee Renner. I loved this knife. Take a moment and STUDY it.

David Sharp shown just how sturdy he can make a tactical fixed blade.

..as does Daniel Stucky with these show award-winning folders.

Art Summers is a veteran maker and he had Doug Sutherland escalate this hunting knife.

And finally Nick Wheeler gives us all a seminar in 'clean'.

 

[Shadows]

You are THE standard that all image artisans are judged by.
Thank you.
