Great shot of some beautiful knives Carl! Hope to see some of your amazing collection at one of the knife shows this year.
For sure, I hope so as well. Right now I'm planning on going to the Badger show in Wisconsin in March, Bluegrass show in Kentucky in May, Little Valley show in New York in July, Central KY show in Kentucky in August, Titusville show in Pennsylvania in August, and the NCCA show in Massachusetts in September.
Man Carl! Those burnt stags are beautiful!!!
I plan on going to the Lexington show in August also thinking about going to the one in May.
Hopefully I'll see you at one hopefully both.

Did we meet before at one of the Kentucky shows? I'm bad with remembering names.

Yes we did. It must have been the year before last. I don't remember seeing you there in 23.
I bought a Barlow from you.

Yeah, I didn't make it to any shows in 2023. Well I certainly will see you in 2024!

A couple new Mammoth Ivory Phoenix Jacks I picked up at the Louisville Gun & Knife Show this weekend.
Oh yeah! Sweet bark and Damascus . You did very well, my fellow PJ loving friend, very well indeed!

Nice photos too! It shows off the color of the mammoth very nicely. Congrats on 2 nice looking knives.
Thanks Carl & Q! Always appreciate feedback from fellow PJ loving brothers. Just got some pictures of all my Pheonix Jacks. I'm up to 10 now and just wanting 2 more to round out the TV PJ sub-collection (Amber Stag Damascus & Crosscut Mammoth CM154). Heck I guess I may have to get one of those Ebony models as well to make a bakers dozen.

Wow Kevin what a display, great collection, and nice layout.

Thanks Carl! Now that I have looked at the picture more, I should have stuck an old silver dollar in the middle to fill it in. Guess I'll have to do that on the next one. Thanks again for your feedback and hope to see you and Ryan in Lexington in a few months.
I still think these are all great made knives, however they seem to be slipping into Great Eastern habits of pumping out the same old knife just with different handle materials. How about a new pattern. Maybe something with more than one blade.

I agree, need more than 1 blade.

I agree, a variety of patterns keeps things interesting. I can say this, new patterns are in the works. 1 has already been cut and is at heat-treat now, and the other 2 have went through multiple rounds of prototypes to tweak the fit/function of everything. And all 3 patterns have more than 1 blade. I can't say what they are yet, but the 1st pattern should be ready this summer, and the other 2 patterns likely will be Sept-Oct time.
A few pick-ups from the Lexington show this weekend. Fell in love with the Stag Swaybelly Trapper when I saw it and had to get the Crosscut Mammoth to round out my Phoenix Jack sub-collection. And no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't resist the cool & unique Wooly Mammoth shields on the Crosscut Mammoth Old Man Jack & Old Man Norman since there were only 15 of each made.
It was great to see Ryan and Carl with his beautiful collection of Old Man Normans in the last picture.

Oh Yeah! Great haul, all top-tier beauties. I wouldn't have been able to resist the Wooley Mammoth shields either...very cool! The Crosscut Mammoth on your Phoenix Jack is the nicest crosscut tusk I think have ever seen on a knife and being on a PJ makes it all the more special. Killer stag on the Swaybelly Trapper Just Gorgeous! Well done, Kevin. Very well done, indeed.

It was great to get to meet you in person and chat over the weekend Kevin. And those are a beautiful set of knives you brought home.
Thanks Carl! Look forward to seeing you guys again in a few months.

Thanks again Q! I love every one of these and the Stag and design on that Swaybelly Trapper really caught my eye. The Holy Land Olivewood is probably the runt of the bunch, but love the handles on that one as well.

Sorry we didn't meet. Maybe you were there Saturday a little later . I took my AAPK shirt off for Saturday after wearing it all day Friday, I need another of different color.
Hope everyone is having a knice weekend... Kinda gloomy here today, so thought it would be a good opportunity to get some pictures of my Tuna Valley sub-collection after adding a few last weekend.
