The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
Gator show 2014, THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
There are two makers that attend this show on a regular basis and they are certainly exceptional in their craft and just as good a folks as you would ever hope to meet. Their tables are always side by side and I could spend days just looking at their work and listening to their discussions on building knives, materials and their knife adventures over the years.
Mr Russell McNab
First up is an ivory mini with elephant hide inserts in the sheaths. These knives by Mr McNabb are among the few he actually sells. He makes many that he has made for himself and for passing down, I have taken pictures of them at previous shows. These are the type of items you dont see on ebay, unless someone bought them at a show and marked them up. He likes to meet his customers
Mr McNabb begins this knife and creates the entire knife by himself. The blade, file work, the engraving and the sheaths.
As an avid hunter, he knows what it takes to make a hunting knife work! Having used many, he understand the variety angle of many collectors and users. he creates beauty he feels show be used
NEXT UP IS THE UNSTOPPABLE MR RONALD HEWITT
Mr Hewitt is a man of many talents. He deigns and makes his knives, turkey calls, little mini weapon charms and he keeps up his own website. No small feat for man who is shall we say, beyond 21 years of age LOL!

In the world of knives and most especially Case Knives, this man is very well known and is a favorite of many people that attend shows. Always willing to help, explain and share a story of your knife or one of his. Mr Tony Foster and his son
Some of the things you dont ever see out there. I have seen pics of the Case sphere but I have never seen one in person
a blade etch that originally was on a butcher knife to the best of everyones knowledge (at least those of us standing right there lol)
A CIX Tang stamp. Took this pic for Hog LOL. It is a beauty of a stockman
