well the cocobolo will be for sure but the maple burl....well I am not sure...yet!!....lol I will be making sheaths for them once they arrive...cause I will not be using them in my wife's kitchen that is for sure...especially when she is in control of it....lol
Les , they are $350. each,payable to the NKCA. Paypal check or M.O. Send me an email,or message,or call me 631 786 3627 . I'll get you all the info you need. Knives will ship from here ,since they are here with me,Thank You,-Vince
hey great knives. i was wondering. i have only been with NKCA for about a year now... is thei8r a newsletter or no?..i figrued this would be the place to ask!- thanx IKC!!
Glad you joined Peter, tell all your friends to join also!! BTW, does anyone know if the club/youth knives have started shipping yet? I've been anxiously/patiently waiting, but it's getting hard.
Tony & I are in the process of putting together another limited run of knives, a fixed blade Zulu. This will come with a right side vertical belt sheath ,made of hand split saddle grade cowhide,of the finest kind by Larry Parsons.
The knife will be stamped exactly like the paring knives and will be 3/32" thick ATS-34 ss , hand ground by Tony on his big 2o" contact wheel,custom built knifemaker's grinder,by Burr King.
This knife was the model for the leather. It will be available with a few choices of wood scales ,hafted & finished by me.
It is about the same size as the Zulu folder & pictured with it here
Please feel free to contact me to be penciled in on the list . At the time I post thios there are 8 spots available. Donation of $500. or more to the NKCA gets you one ,if you make it on my list .Thanks All,-Vince
I forgot to include the picture of the knife,alongside the folder version (my EDC pocket knife) This Zulu knife is the best all around knife ,IMO,I hope this fixed blade brings me luck in the deer woods next weekend
Hi Vincent, is it OK if I use the pictures below to create a page made for the Commemorative Knives section of the NKCA website? Also, what is the handle material of the knife in the photos?
The knife pictured is green canvas micarta. The knives I'll be offering will not be done in micarta,but different wood. As I make them,I can add pictures here. You can use whatever pictures you'd like ,of mine,Carl,Thank You.
i am a membver of the NKCA...is this restircted to mmbers only like most knives or is this a OPEN AUCTION/... i would love to see them go to a member!...which one might...LOL... i really just and strike me down... the latst kinives were great buit not my thing...FIXED BLADE WITH A SHIELD..IS? ... i will email you...

Good looking handles Vince! I am going to use these images to create the knife info page for the NKCA website. Do you know what quantity of these knives you are going to produce?
