Hey folks,

Just wanted to share a set I was able to put together following this year's AKI. Two of the coolest knives I own. They are described in their respective catalogs as:

AKI-SRJFighters.jpg


AKI 2007: Heavy Duty Chute Knife
- 5 inch blade, mammoth handle, stainless steel fittings, 5/16 inch stock, ATS-34, "AKI 2007" logo.

AKI 2009: Loveless-Style Chute Knife
- long 5-3/4" blade, SS fittings, stag handles, 1/4" stock CPM 154-CM, "AKI 2009" trademark.

I think he hit the mark on both!

Best,

Matt

Beautiful pair!

Hey I wish they would do the AKI every year, but this would probably not endear me to many of the makers!

How about a group of Archers? Thanks again, Steve!

I forgot that this was in blade a couple of months ago. It probably provides a more complete rendering of the knife than my amteur attempt.

I figured if it was in Blade a few months ago, then there had to be a jpeg. of it floating around somewhere. I called Steve to ask him and he said that although he didn't have the digital file he did have the hard copy- and would I like to have it. This is the scan of that picture.

Steve, always the gentleman, thanks again for sending along the original. Came out great I think (both knife and photo!).
