Fantastic looking knife, my finger started bleeding just seeing the tip! I love the deep swedges and bet it feels great in hand. The sheild is really appealing too.

You have great taste in knives! :D

What a great knife. That bone Is beautiful. I never saw a knife by John Howser before and He seams to be among the realy talented makers of slipjoints. One can see a harmony in the lines make it bouth a user tool and a piece of true art! Elliot, I never stop being amased over the knifes you show us. Im thankful.

Bosse,

I think you and I just have similar taste in knives, whether they are traditionals from Scandinavia or this side of the big water. I appreciate your comments. :cool::thumbup:
 
Got the Kerry Hampton BP from the passaround forum. It's my last day with this one.:(

I absolutely love that Barlow. Perfect in every way in my opinion.

Thanks, Mack, I carried it again today. I like it a lot. It's not perfect though because the hafting at the bolster on the other side is not quite perfect, but as the song says it's "close enough to perfect for me".

Somewhere in here is a thread about patterns that you didn't like but have warmed up to. Not sure what the thread title was, but this pattern is in that category and I have warmed up to it because of this particular knife I think. I certainly wouldn't mind having another of this pattern and this brand and I want a Case to keep it company.

Daniel, I know you hate to let that go; it looks fantastic.

I won't repost a bunch of shots because they are already on the Custom Forum, but Bruce Bump's #22 has already cut something and is in my pocket.

You're the lucky one, huh? I was looking at the WIP thread thinking "that's OK I guess, nice stag, love the wharncliffe, but I expected more from Bruce Bump..." and then I saw the post-etching damascus. I usually don't care much for damascus, but I love feather pattern damascus. Overall that's one sexy knife.
