OK.....so I had an interesting conversation the other day with a customer of mine on eBay, The knife you see is a Boker USA jack knife, this knife came from the collection of the former President of Camillus Cutlery, Mr. Nilo Miori, my customer was asking about Camillus Made Boker knives, as I stated in my listing this knife was made by Camillus, so here the story of how I…

im all about knives,im on a mission to let our younger generation to know our love of knives.we spend our money,time,and happiness enjoying this obesssion.its a beautiful thing to have friends,common interest,and mans oldest tool.if we get one kid to love knives as much as we do,thats a job well done.some of the hardest times ive ever faced ive did it thu knives.been broke sold some,had money bought some.been depressed bought one.friend depressed gave one,its a knife thing.

As usual a show involving the Gators Cutlery Club was a hit.  The Knifemakers show brings in some real talent and some of the nicest folks you would ever hope to meet.

One of the things I like about this show is that it has something for everyone.  There are the customs, the high dollar customs, the manufactured and even some english beauties.

A knife maker that always make me smile when I see him at a show?  Mr. Russell McNabb.  A man whose knives are created…

This knife was a joke or started out as one!  It is called a Dixie!  It is no longer a joke...these sell bout as quick as I build em and this is my first one in a long time!

Here is an updated price list for the website.  These are not written in stone.  Larry likes to talk to someone when they get one of his knives because he wants to make sure they know what they are getting  So many materials look alike.

What's next?  Maybe the very very rare "Teenage Girl's" switchblade. with the actual marketing material.  The knife was actually marketed to teenage girls and the blade was etched to make it feel personal.

Can you imagine that today?  marketing switchblades to specific sets of teenagers??

Since the next holiday is Halloween,

It is time to get those camera's out and snap some spooky shots of you favorite knife.

Share those blade shots with fellow knife addicts.

Use Halloween clip art, colors etc....Just have fun....…

A friend who I have bought quite a few switchblades from for my collection knows I want one very special switchblade.

During the Civil War, as you know, a lot of soldiers on both sides endured horrific injuries,  Often injuries from the dreaded Minie Ball led to the loss of limbs.  I remember some huge number detailed in a Civil War book about the number of arms & legs lost during the wa.  Astronomical.

Someone invented a knife for the Press Button Knife…

I was thinking how tough it would  be to give up the use of a knife or reading about them, for even one day, I got the shakes just thinking about it. Maybe if I develop a 10 step program, I will be able to bring my addiction under control. I need those who are not suffering too bad ( yet ) to make suggestions as to what those 10 steps might be. 

Disclaimer:

I take no responsibility for what may occur to others who choose to follow  the suggestions for a KAA program. And, I do…

Hey all,

I'm new here so thought I better contribute something :) I like to fool around with making wooden scales for fixed blades and other embellishments, recently I made a blog post about making wooden lanyard beads and thought it might be of interest here as well.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

I have been asked about my lanyard beads more then once and figured it was time to do a how to on them. I'm sure there are better ways but this…

Every since Larry signed to become a member of the Knifemaker's Guild, he has not missed one show until this year.  Larry had a heart attack in December 2012.  During this year we had to cut our shows in half and because of loss of paid days off, he had to cut the Guild Show. 

He has had a lot of support from his friends with knives, knife makers and suppliers.  It means a lot when you have a community that is behind you through sickness and in health.  I had so many phone calls the…

Always enjoy looking at and buying knives.
