New acquisition is an Emerson Super Karambit, no pix yet. I've been wanting to get some Chris Reeves or MercWorx and maybe sell a couple of guns and get something made by Keith Ouye. So many custom knife makers and they're just as bad as custom guns.

The knives I carry every day are your run of the mill Kershaw Leeks, Chives, and Scallions. The funky looking blade in the picture is one that means the world to me, even though it was made out of stuff out of the scrap bin. My grandmother was in the Marines in WWII, serving as a machinist. She made this blade for my great-grandfather out of a bayonet, some scrap brass, some bakelite type stuff, and windshield material from an airplane. She told me that she made a pile of them when she was in the service, for guys headed overseas. She'd make them however they wanted, and trade them for their dessert out of the mess hall. I wouldn't trade this one for the world.

OK, I finally got the word on that William Harsey custom knife I posted earlier: It was a two-person project; only one model was made; it never went into production. Estimated worth (so its owner sez) is at least $1,500 or so. And there you have it.

I have a few knives....this pic has most, but not all...just what I had in the one drawer handy.

P1010002.jpg

I'll try to describe them from bottom left up, then from bottom right up. A Camillus knife my father picked up on his way to Vietnam...high carbon steel and you can really put an edge on that thing! Buck 102 that I've had for years. Benchmade Auto Mini-Ruckus that's my daily carry now. Benchmade HK Auto-Axis. William Henry (can't recall the model). Then there's the huge blade at the top with the two mini-blades. It was given to my Grandfather around 1950 and he was told it was a Cuban sugar cane knife, but it's very much like a Ghurka/Khukris or other curved blade...the handles are real ivory on all three. Lower right starting with an old Kabar I've had for ages...no model name on it. Kershaw Ken Onion Ricochet with the assited opening. Spyderco Viele limited edition. CRKT Viele. CRKT Lightfoot M-1. Cold Steel Voyager folder. Lastly an SOG Tomcat (if memory serves me...no markings). I actually have the box and papers for almost all of the modern knives and some even the original receipt...how anal is that? :o R,

I own several of Bill's knives. He is an artist, and a gentleman. I highly recommend his work.

<_< So helping a friend with his insurance claim on a burglary. :wacko: He left his big safe unlocked :wacko:

any way he had three Very nice knifes a Warren Osbourn hand made from 1987 Wouldn't that knife be worth more than a new Warren Os. knife? And a Allen Aligawiss and a Frank Centofante all of the knifes were hand made from before the guys got to be big names.

We looked up prices at Knifeart.com but all the prices were for new :mellow: over $1,200
