2010 2nd Generation Concept Art

[Dustin Turpin]

Here is all the models I will be offering for the beginning of 2010. Anyone that is on my list may contact me if they are interested in a particular knife. Of course when I am ready to start your order I will confirm everything with you before I start it.

I am in a hurry to get to the shop so I will post more info later.

Some forums don't allow clickable images so I will post the url to the full size image under each one.

Questions and comments welcomed please

take care and thanks for looking

Nice series ... every one an extension of the last. Perfect harmony imho... which is hard to achieve when pulling off so many distinctly different styles.

Congrats... BTW I am interested in no. 5, though I doubt I will ever be able to afford it (lol), but it is beautiful nonetheless.

Thank you, I really try to keep a certain flow in my designs that will hopefully be something down the road people will recognize when they see one of my knives on the table or something.

I am very old school in a lot of ways still. As much as I do appreciate an over built frame-lock that has gotten so popular these days I still can't bring myself to build one. I have always been very inspired by makers like Kit Carson, RJ Martin, Stan Fujisaka to name a few.

My goal has always been to build a knife that has a little classic style flow with some new school twists.

5th one down is the Rogue which is a design I did for Les Robertson. It is sold exclusively through him at http://www.robertsoncustomcutlery.com/.

Dustin, like what i'm seeing, nice style. Haven't gotten to handle any of your knives yet but looking forward to doing so.

Looking good, Dustin! The pocket clip with your logo on it on the Repentance is a really cool idea!

Looking good! I said as much over on JD. A tip up carry Rogue model would be the bomb!
