    Bruce Bump MS "The Judge"

    A great set from one of the best and one of your own!! Recently I had the fortune to receive this knife and sheath Bruce has been working on for me. He really nailed this and did exactly as I anticipated. I asked him to create something a bit different and he took it from there. This is one...

    Mike Talanian/Jon Klein Custom Knife Party

    Back in August for my birthday weekend my good friend Mike suggested I head to his place in NYC to enjoy his extensive knife collection. For any collector or maker I have to say it was quite impressive. Well based on that experience we did the same this past weekend and I thought I would share...

    Curt Erickson Art Dagger

    A few months back I decided to foray into stock removal art daggers. I was fortunate enough to pickup a 2009 AKI piece created by Curt Erickson and Julie Warenski-Erickson. That piece really set me off and allowed me to develop a very nice relationship with them both. Not only do they make...

    Tom Ferry MS Persian

    Well here is another great one from Blade. Tom has been working on this damascus pattern for some time. He calls it his Holographic damascus. Buddy has worked quite a few hours to capture this steel but it really has to be seen first hand. The chatoyancy is so spectacular it creates a pattern...

    Tom Ferry MS Tamahagane Tanto

    Well after a few weeks I am receiving some photos of my knives from Blade 2010. I am pleased to start posting with this one. I am admittedly no expert on Japanese blades but this small Tamahagane bloom that Tom Ferry had at his ACE show really caught my eye. Tom had already forged the Tanto...

    Luciano Dornless JS Integral Camp Knife

    You all may or may not remember Luciano Dornless. Another maker from South America who created some outstanding work. Though still active we have not seen much in the states these last few years. Fortunately for me I had the opportunity to acquire this incredible piece last week. Style: Camp...

    Michael Ruth Jr. "Ruthless" Series # 1

    I have a little story to tell regarding this fine knife and Michael. We first me at the Arkansas show a few months back. You may or may not remember Roger's photo's from the show but one was of a really nice bowie that Michael had made. I regretted letting that slip through my hands but came up...

    Here is another gorgeous piece from Dave. As always dressed up to perfection by Paul and captured by Coop. Real sleek and fast in the hand. You may remember this piece from Dave's recent post on the OKCA show. Dave just continues to make great steel and knives. Jon

    Don Hanson "Big Blue"

    Well I am really happy to say Big Blue is back home. :D One of my all time favorite Don Hanson Bowie's with amazing dark blue (almost black) mammoth ivory. It took a journey via Paul Long for his usual mastery of leather and Chuck Ward captured the whole package. I believe these are also the...

    Burt Foster MS, Ivory Laminated Fighter

    Here is a great example that persistence can pay off for sure! Some of you may remember this one, 2007 BladeForums Bowie of the Year award winner. I will say it was no small task prying this from the hands of a fellow collector and friend. :cool: As described on Burt Foster's website...

    Rodrigo Sfreddo MS, Moghul Fighter

    Another one I posted awhile back that no doubt had some wonderful photo's from Rodrigo. Coop's photo is just so good I thought I would share it one more time. Rodrigo's words: "This full integral fighter with India influenced design was forged with 9" blade and 14" overall length in...

    Tom Ferry, MS

    I posted this some time back but never really had a photo to do this piece justice. Now I do and here it is. A truly fantastic piece of damascus, fully engraved by Tom, and what is becoming a tradition for me. A Paul Long sheath that you can see matches the weave of the engraving quite well...

    Don Hanson III, MS " Big Motha"

    This is the latest Don Hanson addition to my collection and it is a beast. 14 & 5/8" blade, forged from 1084, W2, 15N20 & 203E, 20" overall length. Damascus fittings, 18k gold pin, and a rather large fossil walrus ivory handle. As you can see it is deserving of the name "Big Motha" I believe...

    Terry Vandeventer Clamshell S-Guard Bowie

    Here are some lousy (My apologies) of the other Bowie I picked up at the show. I promise to post better ones as soon as I receive my photo's from Chuck Ward. However, Terry's work for the show was so spectacular I felt it would be an injustice not to show some photos right away. Great damascus...
