January Auction

With expected consistency, all knife enthusiasts see articles, videos and postings that talk about the level of quality in a variety of knives. Certainly, we've all heard people proclaim that certain knives have the “best quality”. Just as often, we've heard other people espouse an opinion on that same knife...that is contrary to what the other person claimed. So all this hubbub got me to thinking; Quality...what is it? Frankly, that's a BIG question. It's a subject matter of massive…

We got 4 inches in a few hours then - poof - it quit.  After getting the walks shoveled, I had to play with the dog and take some pictures.  Isis the wonder dog ( you wonder what she's going to do next ) loves the snow.  We play catch with tennis balls until they get lost under the snow, then she catches snowballs I toss to her.  Later, we watch the squirrels eat peanuts that my wife has put out.  The little house is my wife's sunshed where she grows flowers in the winter.  She has a cherry…

A New Year is about to start and all of us hope your New Year is happy and healthy. 2012 promises to be an exciting year for knife collecting. new shows, new blades, new colors, new patterns and yes perhaps some new pricing!

Changes of all kinds may occur in 2012, including shifts in priorities, in planning, with associations, clubs and our very knife rights may be challenged or face serious erosion.  Think for a minute about the strategic planning…

With the order headed in and the final stages being set for this...we do have the ability to add a few more knives.  Since there have been new members come on board, I thought it would be nice if we let them have an opportunity to order one of these beauties also.

interest internationally. it has also been instrumental in keeping me off

the streets,forcing me to take up photography as well as upgrade my computer skills.

Hello to all!

I am a serious collector of both damascus knives and damascus billets.   I am currently buying billets from such makers as Robert Eggerling (quilt damascus and slanted quilt damascus), Chad Nichols, Devin Thomas, Robert Calcinore, and others.

I am looking for unsual damascus billets made by anyone.   I have been told that some Swedish blacksmiths are creating some very innovative and unusual damascus patterns - one in fact apparently has made 5…

So tomorrow I'm taking the first of the knives that I made to the local sporting good store to see if they can sell it.

Here's what it looks like with it's case:

Offcourse I'll have a certificate that's signed and dated accompany it where in the materials and the building process as well as the warrantee are…

Pearl Harbor Remberance Day ~ Wounded Warrior Project Auction Knife

Our first stop was in Rogers Ark. at the A.G. Russell Store. I walked in there in my overalls and my beard is a little on the bushy side. I Knew at once that I was a little out of place in there. I wanted a Russell knife for my collection though so I decided to look around though. I found a Ceramic button lock folder that I liked and finally got someone to wait on me and got it paid for. All in all I can say that they where pretty rude and that I will never go back. I don't think that they…
