Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

I went back and forth on these when they first came out, and didn’t end up grabbing one until last week when I got a great deal that I couldn’t pass up! Glad I’ve got one now, really well made.

I'm just now catching up from the craziness of Blade Show West, and a couple of illnesses. I owe you guys some pics!

Picked up a Harper one off custom by Nick Birdvis at BSW! This bad boy has absolutely INSANE fit and finish! It's ridiculously nice. CPM-154 steel... And the covers... Oh man! The covers are made with some CUSTOM pressed black burlap, double black canvas, double black linen that Current Composites custom pressed for me! 😍

My 2023 BladeForums knife also came in!

And I had some custom covers made for my 2020 BladeForums knife. I'm just not a fan of ram's horn. It rains a LOT here in Washington, and the moisture makes the covers stink. 🤣

It's now sporting some 1970's Westinghouse Butterscotch paper Micarta. 😍

btb01 btb01 Yes you can't slam that one shut! As with most French knives, probably a good job too as the opening is easy enough but a tough spring to shut and it could maim you if fingers got in the way :eek: It has a piece of cork in the well to protect the blade as it gets guided home. Great knife for demanding work though.

Fixall Fixall Really fantastic knife that Birdvis! Shows real innovation & aesthetics, top knife 😍:cool:

Thanks, Will

The craftsmanship is really over the top! It took me about .5 seconds of handling it to realize it was definitely going home with me, lol.

The downside (for my bank account) is that it's started my jaunt down to custom rabbit hole. I'll soon be adding a Oeser, Ritchie, and a Moran to the collection. 😂🤣

The French make some great knives, but they do have interesting ways of doing certain things. I have one where the blade edge just rests on the spring near the tip. Seems like it was designed to be that way. I put a very thin piece of leather in there.
