The Parliament Of The Olamic Owls Is Now In Session

[bigsurbob]

I purchased three BLADE Show Prototypes this weekend at the show:

Friday, it was these two:

Eugene said they don't even have a name for that blade shape on the top knife as yet, but as you can see, they've added the moveable thumbstud from the Soloist. Excellent blade, also my first Olamic knife in S90v! The second knife, a marked prototype with a fully Carbon Fiber showside scale, no liners. Absolutely insane how different the weight is between these two knives, it's night and day.

Saturday, I went back and they had put out some of their Appetizers on the table. I got the one that features their very first "jeweled" pivot. As in, this knife has the first one they've done. Zirconium showside scale, hand-filed backspacer, jeweled clipside. What a score!!

Closeup of that pivot:

Perfect to toss in the back of the truck!

I was going to sell this but having second thoughts after seeing everyone else's great looking knives in this thread.

No...that's sweetness with an edge.

But keep me in mind.

But I like Bob's designs better but will not copy the master.

 

[Rufus1949]

I do carry all but one. The only purchase regret. My Wayfarer classic. Just to large for me.

I'm smiling but it cost almost a grand or I would sell it.View attachment 1840253

If I wasn't cursed with terminal southpawness: I'd buy it from you for what it cost you..
I've got it's cousin here!

 

[Rufus1949]

I like your bronze finish.

 

[Bob Denman]

Yours looks much brighter and snappier.

 

[Rufus1949]

Better makeup.

Does the full carbon fiber scale cause a decrease in durability or strength of the knife?

 

[Bob Denman]

What do you think of the new Bowie blade shape?

 

[Rufus1949]

I like the new olamic Bowie, cutlass and the one they call a startanto. Three examples.View attachment 1843053View attachment 1843055View attachment 1843128
