Well, our photography light burned out, so Haley wasn't able to do her magic with the real camera and you will have to suffer with my iPhone pics. You'll get the idea anyway.

the group shot first so you can see the size comparisons.



Now for Haley's newest creations,

A 10" gyuto in Haley's own multi-bar twisted Damascus madness.
This is one of the sweetest culinary slicers I have ever seen, and not just because I'm biased :)





An extremely sharp little W-2 integral hunter with some nicely figured African Blackwood.



There will be more from Haley coming soon.

first from Adam is a group shot of all the hunters...





And now the choppers...

a fully integral W-2 recurve with moose antler scales. The blade is 12-1/4" long and 2-1/2" wide. The tang, bolsters, guard and spine have been parkerized for corrosion proof handling. This knife belongs to Sam Lurquin in exchange for the awesome chopper he made for me last year.



For all my friends who want something a little more tactical, but still like some curves... Brute-de-forge, modified Kukuri. 10-1/2" x 2-1/2" blade forged from L-6. The handle is black canvas micarta with 416 ss fittings.



This one is W-2. at 9-3/4" x 2-5/8" this is a fairly compact chopper that cuts with a lot of power. Again, more of a tactical package with the micarta and stainless fittings.



not exactly a chopper, but a very versatile camp knife... 8" blade of modified feather Damascus. African Blackwood handle, stainless spacer, and parkerized integral bolster.




And now back to the hunters...

4-bar twisted "w" integral with a very cool piece of stabilized, local cottonwood burl.





6-bar Turkish twist with Alaskan moose antler handle, and stainless spacer.




6" integral hunter/utility. Modified feather Damascus, Alaskan Sitka Spruce burl handle. Parkerized integral bolster.



4-bar twisted "W" hunter with African Blackwood handle and stainless spacer.



6-bar "Merovingian" twist, Keyhole hunter with African Blackwood "Key" handle.



last, but not least.... My only fighter. I only make one or two fighters a year, and almost always for Blade show.
This one is a fully integral, full tang fighter. It is forged from one solid block of modified feather pattern damascus. It has Desert Ironwood scales. The blade is 8" x 1-1/4"





there are a few other surprises in the bag as well... :)

Really looking forward to seeing everybody at the show.

The key-hole hunter is outstanding! I can't wait to see these at blade.

Ciao,

Great looking knives Adam.
I have to agree with you.
The kitchen knife that Haley made really really looks good!
 
Adam and Haley, these are all beautiful. I can't wait to handle them and maybe get a chance to own one. See you next week. Mark
 
Truly impressive. I look forward to seeing these up close. See you guys soon.
 
Awesome stuff you guys are taking. Love the hunters! Wish I could be there to see them. Have a great show.
 
How is that even possible, I look forward to seeing you both and all those fine knives
 
That's a fine looking bunch of knives. I wish I could get to see that one for Sam. Safe trip guys.
