As we begin to discuss Blade 2012 and knives that folks will be able to view, here are a couple of knives made by Paul Savage, Ayr, Ontario which were part of his 2011 JS submission and which, while not sold at Blade 2011 were purchased from Paul at the CKG show in March 2012 but with one still requiring a sheath were not totally available for photos and discussion until now.
First is a Bowie/FighterOAL 14 1/8" with 9 1/4" W2 forged bladem 416 SS satin finished guard and spacer with a nicely done black sheath. The handle on this knife and the overall balance makes it a delight to sit and handle for hours at a time.
The second knife is a nicely done Price Style dagger with mammoth ivory in a framed handle with hidden tang. OAL is 10 1/4" with a 6" 1084 forged blade and 416 SS satin finished guard and bolster, The sheath is leather with 416 SS satin finish throat and tip which fits perfectly to the blade. An excellent package.
These are two excellent knives which now have prominent places in the display of knives from our collection.
