Dave, how about a little more information about the amazing knives
you are displaying here lately? Maker, year made, etc.....

Just a few words would make it a truly educational exhibition.

All the best,

I don't post here much Mr. Ellis but I just wanted to agree with what Dr. Darom said. For instance, in that second knife (also my favorite of those posted here), I recognized the influence of several makers but would not have been able to name the actual maker of the knife.


Thanks for sharing some of the knives in your collection. Every one has been magnificent.

one of the reasons i like mr ellis' threads so much is the lack of information about the knives and the makers. it's like blind tasting wine. of course it would be nice to know more about the pieces a couple of days after the first post.

best regards,

Auto Curr by Blackwood approx. 3 yrs. ago
2 Blade Kaj made for me around 2 yrs. back
Darryl made me the Bali around 3 yrs. ago

Usually the lookers pick out the makers

The Blackwood and Embretsen are unmistakable! I'm loving the high end folder action Dave... Solvang what?

I like that scenario you described Hans.

I see a lot of Jim Schmidt style in that Kaj.

As long as Dave keeps providing such great pictures, however he chooses is fine with me.
