In a series of trades, i scored a few nice knives, satisfying (for now) my latest addiction, high quality forged (usually) traditional fixed blades.

I picked up this very sweet Jim Siska Hunter, with amazing stag, Ealy mosaic damascus blade with a classic, mean Siska grind, the F&F is flawless, Mastersmith level, though of course, he didn't forge the blade, I guess Delbert did. Gorgeous knife regardless, my first of his, and I am impressed.

Next, is a Wheeler, a long, slender fighter, forged 9" blade with presentation ironwood, his F&F is about as good as it get's, im expecting this in a few days, but based on his rep and other work, I am very anxious to see it.

Next is a hunter by MS Hendrickson, i've liked his knives, but didnt want the normal silver wire inlays, well, i found this knife, no inlays, a straightforward 5 1/4" forged hunter with drop point blade and killer stag.

I should also be getting that huge, 12" damascus Bowie from Mike Williams MS, and am VERY anxious for that to arrive in a week or 2.

All in all, its been a hectic week with so many trades going on, but the outcome was well worth it. :)

Ari, you're completely out of control! :)

Love them all, but my favorite is the Wheeler.
 
Dude,

When you haul 'em in they come in bunches! Holy smokes!!:eek: :eek: Those knives right there would be an instant knife collection that anyone would envy. The long pointy Wheeler fighter is truly an elegant piece of cutlery. And that broad-bladed damascus Williams bowie is six different kinds of awesome. Mike is fast becoming one of my favorite bowie makers and I don't even own one of his knives yet.

I'm pretty sure this is a different shot of the same knife:

Congrats on some great additions to what is no doubt a terrific collection.

Cheers,

Dang, that's some tasty stag on that Hendrickson hunter!:eek: I like them all, but that one speaks to me.
 
WOW!!! All four are simply representative of what each of these 'masters' can produce. It's nice to have a focus, and you have a lazer lock!!!!

Congrats Ari. You had to give up something very sweet to trade for these, I'm certain.
