Any Info on Harrison Knives

Post by Paladin »

Guys,
Yesterday I picked up this knife in a batch and I am unable to find any info on it. It is a custom by Harrison Knives and that is about all I know. I Googled it and found one maker here in Texas but his knives look much more refined than this one. This knife has the name scripted on it using a Dremel Tool or such. I tried to call the one I found in my Google search but the calls go straight to a full voice mail. I also tried to search on Arizona Custom Knives and there are numerous listings for the maker I did locate but their appearance or style was not like the knife I have.
On the back of the leather sheath there is a stamp for Red's Saddle Shop and I Googled that with no results.
If any of this triggers a memory, please let me hear from you.

Thanks,
Ray

Thank you Ridgegrass. I think the maker in Edom, Tx is the one I also found. I'll check out the one in California.
I sure appreciate the help on this.

Ray, I believe this knife is from Ed Harrison of Houston TX. Ed was a prolific customizer of Schrade knives and did a lot of LB7 knives that he would file work and rehandle in stag. He did make some knives and this knife looks a lot like Ed's work to me. At one time he was working on a super large (actually giant) Bowie knife but he passed before it could be completed. Someone took up the project of the Bowie but I can't remember who or if the knife was ever actually completed.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
