Was wondering if I would ever get to post any pictures on this thread, and fortunately I had some good luck at the Lexington knife show today and traded for some Tuna Valley, Excelsior, & Titusville knives. It was great to meet and talk with Ryan and the other dealers and work out some deals.

I love the beautiful stag on the Tuna Valley and Titusville. The handle materials on the Excelsiors wouldn't have been my first choice, but they were the only Excelsior's available, and I probably couldn't have afforded them in stag or pearl. My goal today was to walk out with my first Tuna Valley & Excelsior. Never thought I would end up with 4 of these awesome knives plus the beautiful Titusville.

Wow Kevin that's quite a haul! I love the stag on those knives. And the blue coral on the Kraken is pretty unique and eyecatching too. I'm jealous you got to go to the Kentucky show, it is always a good time and a nice location. Wish I could have been there.

Great looking knives as always, Carl

But the top side of the blade isn't sharpened, just has a nice looking swedge. It is built on the same frame as the Swing Guard that was posted earlier, just without the guard.

Whenever I see a Queen or S & M single spear-point swinguard, Carl, my first thought is, "I bet that would look good without the swinguards", and your posted knife today proves it!
So simple and clean, they're my favorite!
You've put on a great showing of knives in the last while, sir, thanks for the show!
