Beautiful collection and photos Kevin! I know how much time and energy went into the hunt of finding all those variations.

I hadn't planned to get the Green Maple Damascus But, the OCD monkey may have to get that one as well
That The Monkey must be fed is an indisputable fact that is open neither to negotiation nor compromise...to think otherwise is to court folly and could be harmful to your mental health and wellbeing

The Mammoth Tooth Church Glass wasn't on my list either
I like how you positioned it in your photo at the bottom of the pile with all the other PJs lined up like church pews. Most folks likely believe the shield on the "Church Glass" handle depicts praying hands; however, when I look at it sitting at the head of all those gorgeous knives I can't help but think those are actually clapping hands applauding your amazing collection!
You have a great imagination, Q! That never crossed my mind when positioning them, but does make perfect sense.

Thanks Carl! You know as well as anyone since you have seen me at the knife shows hunting them down.
Can't wait for the Eurika Jack pattern that's in the works.
Looks like it will be a really cool pattern as well, so it may have to be my next conquest. I hope you'll keep us up to date when the Protos start coming out.

For sure I will. The last I heard those will hopefully start rolling out early in 2025. I will pass the word when I have updates.

Holy Smoke, Q! That's a great pattern and the Stag is amazing!
Is that a new addition to the hoard or have you been holding out on us?

I had my eye on it and finally decided to pull the trigger. I paid a lot for it, but, you know...it's hard to put a price on something that stirs your heart like this knife did mine (not to mention the relief that comes from quieting The Monkey for a spell...that alone is priceless!)

Thanks Kevin. I'll have to get some photos of some other new ones to show here. Hopefully I can get that done over winter, before our maple syrup season begins.

I was able to have this Tuna Valley knife made in the Phoenix Jack pattern as a prototype, using the same red birdseye maple handles that I had on my SFO maple syrup knife last year. I really enjoy this one. Only 1 ever made.

What a shame
Such a nice pattern. Is there ANY chance more could be made with that handle material (just ONE more, for me!
)

I have some ideas in mind to use that handle material again on another SFO. Just need to come up with the money, and a pattern that feels right.

The Red Birdseye Maple looks Great on that Phoenix Jack.
Look forward to seeing what pattern you decide to use for your next SFO.

In the same vein as the last knife, this is a prototype of the Old Man Norman barlow pattern with those same red birdseye maple handles.

Here is another unique one to show. The Phoenix Jack pattern in the "Portal Fluid" acrylic handles, that were used on some Titusville Cutlery releases.

Very nice, Carl, that lime green and Wharncliffe blade sure make it special! Bravo!
