Wow, this thread turned out to be absolutely incredible! Thanks everyone for sharing these beautiful pics

We didn't mention Fabrizio Silvestrelli and Graziano Cabona, from Italy. Both integrals. Just classic.

Joe Kious, doing it old school:

Ricardo Velarde, with a more recent offering:

Bob Terzuola rarely makes a fixed blade, but he's fully capable.

Robert Parker is inspired by RWL:

I'll allow that this is a semi-subhilt, by RJ Martin:

From my very earliest of photographs, the storied Boar Hunter, by Robbin Hudson, MS. (Now coveted by Mike T.)

And lastly one I did for JP Holmes:

Good thread. :thumbup:

I made this RWL34 integral subhilt last year:

Hardly traditional Gus, yet it appears simple even through the complexity. Cool.

This is an enjoyable thread. Thanks for contributing to my happiness.

I always did like the Stormbringer knives, and Joe made a bunch of them back in the day. This one is particularly nice. One thing though, how can it be a sub hilt if it doesn't have a hilt to begin with?

I do like this thread!

That Kious is possibly my favorite of the whole thread.
I just got some Cocobolo scales that are about identical to those.

Love the Kious!!! So wonderfully executed and different. Mike Donato has 2 of Joe's more traditional looking sub hilts for sale on his site. He says in one description he has not seen many and Joe no longer makes them. Heartbreaker as Joe's sub hilts are fantastic.

There are so many beautiful knives in this thread I can not pick a favorite!!!

One wouldn't think so, but..... (Click for larger)



A non-traditonal shot by me. I pointed them away. It works any way you set them.

About $35k worth of cutlery in one shot. I may be conservative or hopeful.

Thanks for showing them. Some real nice knives there, I especially like the David Broadwell one. I ordered a bowie from Kyle Royer a few weeks ago and get it October 2011, guess it will be worth the wait, I cannot believe the talent from one so young.

Here are four Full Integral sub-hilt beauties by Edmund Davidson.
The design pattern for the two on the right, is named after me...

All the best,

I mentioned earlier in this thread that Ray Cover, Sr had made a batch of this style "subhilt" and I bought four or five, only to sell them later. I always liked the styling - and, amazingly, I just found a Mel Wood-engraved one by Joe Kious the day before yesterday (and bought it). Will post some pics when I get them.

 

[Durwood]

Here's one by Ray Cover, I've owned a few of them, and have a couple more coming someday when Ray is in the mood to finish them:

 

[Kyle Royer]

Here is my second Sub-Hilt that I've made from a recent Thread.

This is an awesome thread!!!!!! Thanks for all the pics everyone.

Kevin, It's amazing how things pop up at the right time. When that little Kious subhilt first appeared in the Coop image, I had just found one exactly like it.

I had owned a few Covers of the exact design that were unengraved, but what luck finding a Kious that had been engraved (Mel Wood). Here are a couple pics. Also cocobolo, but not nearly as nice cocobolo as the one in Coop's image.

EDIT: I added an image that shows filework on the tang. Anyone think it makes it look too busy?
