[QUOTE="Traxxis, post: 1351024, member: 8980"] Ez Bake's thread got me thinking that I should post a few knifes that a guy I am privileged to call a buddy. Unlike some of the other tradesmen I've ran into, this guy is always happy to teach somebody something, even if you ask a lot of questions like me. :) He has recently had several articles written up about him in some pretty high profile magazines, along with a recent article in the Tulsa World. Lots of people can make a blade, but, like custom guns... there is a difference between a gun maker, and a true craftsman. The thing I think is really neat about this guy is he actually forges his own Damascus blades, which (though I could be wrong) is truly a dying art. It really reminds me of handling a finely crafted 1911 that is both beautiful, and completely functional. And trust me, he uses the snot out of them. Forgive the cell phone pictures, I didn't have the Nikon with me. And before anybody asks, the handles (stocks? grips?) on the smaller knifes are the State Roadkill of Oklahoma... yup, Armadillo. [attach=full]81330[/attach] [attach=full]81331[/attach] [attach=full]81332[/attach] [attach=full]81333[/attach] [attach=full]81334[/attach] [attach=full]81335[/attach] These aren't my photos, but I don't think he'll mind if I use them... they're just too neat, I gotta show them! [SIZE="1"][attach=full]81336[/attach] [attach=full]81337[/attach][/SIZE] [attach=full]81338[/attach] [attach=full]81339[/attach] They aren't cheap, but craftsmanship like this generally never is. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy! ETA: I guess I should include his site. :) [url]http://www.heltonknives.com/index.html[/url] If anybody can show me how to shrink the two photos, I'd like to know.
