Where to find Ed Schempp knives hat?

I'd imagine if you contact Ed, that he'd sell you one. Last batch I saw were darker. Black, or close to it, but that over a year ago. I got the one in that photo from him as a gift, when I purchased his all damascus prototype for the Small Persian from him a few years back.

Blade is the same "Spyderbug" damascus Ed made for the 25th Anniversary Delica, only "twisted" to distort the pattern somewhat...

The handle material is starburst nickel iron in a flower filigree pattern...

Ha! No problem at all, except that I am also jealous.

That is one nice-looking knife, maybe the best-looking Damascus pattern I have seen. Wow!

Wanna sell it Deacon? Just kidding, that is out of my "per-knife" price range for the moment even if you were selling it. Maybe one day.......:thumbup:

The handle looks amazing as well. I have not found myself wanting most of the really expensive folders, I am afraid to lose a $500.00+ knife, but this one calls to me. What a great, functional work of art.

Oh yeah, thanks! I will contact Ed, compliment him on my favorite fixed blade knife in my collection, the Rock Salt, and ask him about buying a hat.

I still want both a Spyderco/Schempp cap and one with Kershaw/Onion. These are my two favorite knife companies and knife makers and manufacturers by far.

I have owned Kershaw knives for much longer longer, starting with that Scuba knife that they still make 28 years ago when I was about 12, but Spyderco gets most of my business these days. :-)

Glad I could be of help, and that you didn't mind the irrelevant stuff.

Don't know if I'm just more careful with my things than a lot of folks, or just step in the smelly brown stuff often enough to maintain a constant supply of good luck, but in 55+ years of carrying a pocket knife, I've never lost one. Can't remember ever losing a decent pen either. Definitely isn't a question of being well organized, I'm not, and a friend who is a borderline OCD neat freak has managed to lose three watches in the past two years. How the hell does someone lose a wristwatch? But, FWIW, when it comes to carry pieces, the Mini Persian proto is even a bit to rich for my blood, and I do carry $500+ folders now and again. :o :D

Ed's pitch was: "Buy a knife and get a hat."

I have one, black hat, in my display case along with the knives. It is that nice looking of a hat.

If I see him at Blade West this month I will ask about how to get a hat.

I contacted Ed awhile back and he was willing to sell me one of his black "Ed Schempp Knives" hats (the flex-fit type). At that time he was asking around $20 for one.
