My first ever custom forged knife was purchased right here on BladeForums. It was a Primos Camp knife that I bought from Randy/nifrand and it really set the mark high for my follow-on expectations when looking to buy more forged blades. When Terry announced that he was hanging up his hammer, I stopped procrastinating and pulled the trigger on a purchase that I had been thinking about for over two months.

With my original Camp Knife. Note the greater drop of the point on the camp knife and the handle of the hunter:

My meager collection of Terry's stuff. I'll be keeping my eyes open for more:

So let's see yours....
 
Sorry about the reflection from my scanner. Terry knows how to make a really nice knife. He will be missed. Maybe he will continue to make on a part time basis.
 
That's an awfully nice assembly. Terry's work was always kind of hard to come by, and now.... Enjoy your fine blades.

I still think he'll come back(at least I'm praying that he does).
 
Thanks to Dave Kelly, I was able to snag this wonderful "Camp Bowie." I've been hemming and hawing for months over which model Primos to buy. When I saw Terry's post about (temporary - I hope) retirement, I figured I'd better pull the trigger so here she is in Dave's words:
"Blade: 6.50" Forged 1084 with convex edge
Guard: Stainless steel
Handle: Arizona Desert Ironwood w/ stainless corby bolts
O.A.L.: 11.25"
Sheath: 2 toned tooled leather Schevers sheath
Comments: Terry said this was the first knife he incorporated a palm swell in the handle"
Thanks Dave!
 
And one more...

Rustic Hunter, BL = 4", OAL = 8 1/8", Satin finished 9260 high carbon steel blade, Hammer textured & Fired SS Guard, Mortised Curley Maple handle accented with a bone Escutcheon. Custom Sheath by Schevers.
