I'm hooked on Rob's customs, not to be confused with his production autos. I know I own "enough" knives but I'd like a few more. Seems like he has a mind just as sinister as mine when it comes to the nasty. I like the nasty.

I'm thinking of another matched set of hawbill framelocks, possibly kerambits.

What I have so far... (from top)

Matched mirror image set of Southern Cross folders
Waco (production auto)
Applegate Fairbairn inspired folder
Belt buckle (proto production auto)





Any suggestions are welcome.
 
Well, you do not have any hooked bladed knive's so a hawkbill would be a nice addition. The only downside, imo, is how much the blade sticks out of the handle when the knife is closed. I suppose it could be built so that the blade does not have the big hump, but either way a matched set of hawkbills would be nasty! I likes the nasty too!!

Btw, I love your Applegate designed folder, it looks bad-azz!

Keep up the good work, your Nastiness!:eek::D
 
Those are some wicked looking knives.
I really don't know much about Dalton knives except that they are on my radar now.

Whatever your next choice may be do keep us updated.
 
I'm considering a balisong. Ti sandwich handles with a 5" bowie blade maybe.
 
Just traded my belt buckle knife for future tattoo work to a guy in my fellowship. Gonna get my crappy Strider tattoo covered up.
