Two favorites of mine, J.S. Karl Andersen and J.S. Ben Seward, both are working on their Master Smith. David Seward sheaths.

Thanks Tony, much appreciated. Karl, David and Ben are great guys to boot, my relationship with the makers is just as important as the knife, and makes them even more special to me.

Great knives and it is exciting to know the artist.

WOW!
What a bunch of beautiful knives on these last few pages.

Here's an old Landers Frary & Clark Bowie.

I like that one Joe! Neat looking sheath too with the seam in the front. How long is the blade Joe?::tu::

An early Jerry Fisk Bowie. African Blackwood handle.

I am seeing some real BEAUTIES here! Here is one that is supposed to sell tomorrow on ebay. It is not mine and I don't know anything about beyond the listing but I think it is a great knife. A Korean War Randall.

Thank you, Steve.
The blade is 5 3/4". 10 1/8" overall.

Beautiful custom there, Quick Steel.

Great looking fixed blades! Thanks for sharing

Mike Craddock personal carry - W2 with hamon, mokume gane, damascus and walrus ivory, Larry Parsons made the sheath for me

Montanaman, concerning the Craddock, the sum of its parts = superb! I absolutely love that knife. Congratulations!

Thank you, much appreciated. The W2 is from Don Hanson III, Mikes explosion damascus, and I had Mike Sakmar forge the 1/4 inch 3 toned mokume billet, it is one of my favorites also. Mike's work is very clean.

Thank you! Larry does a great job and is a friendly fella. I have had him make me a couple sheaths where I provided some onlay material.

Nice one Eustace! Is the sheath used as a handle? I'm amazed at some of the ingenious tools that are made today. I have a small collection of them and some are just wild in design and function.

No, but it's very good made of leather with the possibility of neck carrying. Here's some more information about the model:

That is cool and practical Eustace, a lot of uses.

Some of my Blackie Collins designed, Smith & Wesson manufactured Survival Series knives of the mid 70's

I fell in love with this series and the Browning Sportsman Series of the same era.

Very nice collection of S&W knives!

A good looking collection onehikes. I especially like the two bottom knives, left and right. The fishing knife is also interesting.

Picked up this Buck 119 at a roadside junk store over in Indiana last weekend. Paid too much but what's a fella to do when he likes the knife but knows nothing about it?
