Here's a Don Hanson Fighter I was fortunate to pick up at Blade Show.
The Mammoth Ivory is pretty ugly, but think I can grow to like it. ;)

But seriously this piece is incredibly light weight and lighting fast in hand and it has the sharpest top clip (full length) I have encountered on a knife. If ever being in the unfortunately position of having to defend yourself with a knife you could do much worst than this baby. :thumbup:

BL ~ 8 1/2" Hanson Crazy-Lazy-Ladder pattern damascus, w/like damascus fittings

OAL ~ 13 1/2"

Tapered frame handle construction

Premium BLUE Mammoth Ivory Scales

18K Solid Gold Pin

Thank you in advance for your interest

Man...I like that. You must have got it pretty early; I don't remember seeing it at the show.
 
Stunningly gorgeous :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

How thick is the ricasso, Kev? 1/4"?

Congrats to you Kev! And congrats to Don as well!

.. must have one of Don Hanson's great work ;)

mohd.
 
This is a really cool knife - as much of a pleasure to handle as it is to look at. Like we discussed at the show, I think Don is on to something with that full length, sharpened top clip. It works so well with his signature style straight blades. The ivory handle is amazing. :thumbup:
 
the gold pin strikes again!:D
that's gonna be a Kevin Jones signature:thumbup:

Apart from that, this knife leaves me pretty much speechless. Saying its anything at this point seems an understatement.

I have some serious envy right now.
 
Dig that tapered tang.
Gorgeous Hanson, Kevin, nice snag ! :thumbup:

Every time I see a DH knife I can feel my Terret Syndrome rising up. Theres something about them that makes me want to cuss outloud!
Nice work Don

My reaction is different, I have to wipe the drool away form the corner of my mouth and pick my jaw up off the floor.:D

Great job Don.
 
This is one of the three fighters of Don's that absolutely blew me away at the show. Great knife Kevin/Don!
 
Beautiful work as always from Don. Congratulations on the snag.

Where does he find all that ivory? No wonder blue mammoths are extinct.
 
Kevin, this knife is stunning. The blue ivory is noteworthy and the damascus on Don's Blade knives this year was quite eyecatching. Congrats on a great catch!
 
Congratulations to Kevin and Don for this incredible knife!
Gorgeous damascus and amazing mammoth ivory!
Perfect!
