What's your favorite single blade pattern?

[Will Power]

Ken Erickson made me this one. It's a copy of a Taylor's Eye knife from the 60's. Full 4" lock back in original Westinghouse. Definitely one of my favourites in my collection.

Not hard to see why, a superb example I always thought Ken Erickson managed not only to get the proportions on a knife right but also the feel or 'aura' of a pattern. It has life & beauty, so many Custom knives come across as well executed, engineered items, but totally sterile, but his work never feels like this, it has innate beauty with a deep comprehension of the pattern's origins and strengths.

Lucky you are to have this masterwork

Thank you Sir, I couldn't agree more about Ken's work.

I'm fortunate to have a few fabulous pieces from him, I only wish he was still making knives.

For me I like a swayback, it just suits me well.
