He fo' sure makes big honkin fixed blade cutting comp knives. He is the guy who pioneered the forward mounted lanyard after taking a big chunk out of his arm. I saw the scar and it was not pretty. I have seen a few of his regular fixed blades in the books and magazines but it looks like he is concentrating on folders these days.

here is an image of a Warren Osborne Fighter which I obtained from another collector who purchased it in a Dallas knife store many years ago. When I spoke to WO he said at that time he was not doing anymore FB's but now, after years of doing folders, I understand that WO has decided to proceed with more FB's. As Joe mentioned he is currently producing cutting competition knives and a couple of non knifemakers have been using his blades and winning many of the competiontions
