UK Sharp Show 2023

[screened porch]

Those throwing knives...I could make use of them sometimes

I don't know; at 42 quid each, best price, I think I'll stick with sticks and stones.

 

[Jack Black]

I would say about 12 to 20 inches, they lookeed like useful tools for rough work.

I noticed those in the video

 

[Murphy Slaw]

Fantastic pics of a place I'll never get to visit.

Thanks.

Thanks.

You never know. Maybe someday you'll be dropped on the Sharp Show by bungling alien abductors.
That's probably my best chance.

Johnnythefox You must have been worn out by the end of the day, so much to take in but a buzz feeling tiredness Liked the Medieval eating knives, interested to see some of Paul Mason's knives on sale, I'm sure he used to post his work on this Forum some years back? Those throwing knives...I could make use of them sometimes

Liked the Medieval

I handled a few they where my cup of tea,they just felt right.

When you say rough work do you mean roughing people up.a crazy frankie tool.

Best price if they're open to haggling yes, 50 Quid otherwise. But a small price for peace of mind

Descriptions on the photos.










Friendly people they wrapped my little knife purchase up well.













Robert took time out to show me how a barrel knife worked,my first time ever seeing one they where understandably pricey.
But works of practical art.

He also showed me how the knives with key rings on the blades worked again first time I had seen one for real.
















You want Case knives? this is some of his collections.

I looked at a few but was worn out and didnt have the knowledge.





I very nearly bought this one as well.















The organisers.

Paul used to be a member here, but it wasn't worth his while paying for the dealer plates he said. Since he's not a member, you'll have to get his details by PM. So far as I know he posts what he makes on FN and IG, and I'm not on them either. I wish he was still here, great guy

That's one heck of an accumulation! Some very interesting knives there John That's a nice Barrel Knife, they sell for more and more. Do you mean Ring-Turn Knives, like the one below? I used to see them very regularly, but less so now.

That's a nice Rodgers Mine isn't in such good shape

Yes he had a box of ring turns? I didnt get one though.

 

[Oldy]

out of curiosity what was the price of a barrel knife.

An occasional poster here collects them, I forget how many he has, but it's a LOT!

Ya that dog leg jack was calling me,but I'm not sure the wife would keep me around.because that knife looks expensive. Mind you those rummage bins would be fun,but that would add up quick lol.wish we had a knife show around these parts but ain't no way.

Good evening Johnnythefox - very sorry to relay to you and others who knew him - our dear Robert Cutting has departed, passed.

He had a heart attack two weeks ago and sadly never recovered.

I know he supplied you, and many other happy collectors, with lovely examples of the past, and materials. A lovely warm and generous man.

Rest In Peace, Robert
