Here is a recent fighter I finished. Its got some really great walrus oosick for the handle. The sheath is made by John Cohea . For this type of sheath he was the only way to go. And he has for a long time been one of my favorite makers,so when he agreed to do the work for me I was thrilled. This sheath is just amazing and sends this whole package over the top. It was a real pleasure working with John. Then the Pics by Coop just took this to another level. he is amazing. thanks to all involved.

The whole package looks great Andrew.
I especially like the profile of the blade and the guard.
 
Coop did an awesome job with the photos(as usual!),but this piece is pretty remarkable as well Andrew,and it was my pleasure to dress it up a little more!Collectors take note,while Andrew mat not be well known at this point,his work is definately worth taking a closer look at!
 
Both knife and sheath show a lot of character.
Nice job by maker, sheathmaker and photographer.
 
Nice work all around. Knife, pics, sheath...

Kind regards,

Jos
 
There's a lot of goodness going on in this package.

The proportions and shape of that sleek fighter blade is one of those rare profiles that take you by surprise at how well they work. Look at how evenly the blade merges into the handle on both ends. That's flow.

The guard is thin and shapely. Like a petite woman.

The handle has great Natural Artifact decay, yet continues to serve the senses and your hand fully.

I always admire John's work. On this one, even more so.

This was a pleasure to capture. I'm pleased for Andrew.

Thanks,

Coop
