Comments: This is a brand new folding dagger by master knife maker Owen Wood. We call it the “Long Art Deco Checkerboard“, and the knife is simply a feast for the eyes with wonderful patterns and complimentary colors every where you look. The highlight of this piece is Owen’s absolutely incredible Chevron Pattern Damascus, which is nicely complimented by a subtle twist pattern Damascus by Owen as well.

The scales are tiny perfectly matched light and dark squares of Amber secured with tiny screws topped by Emeralds. And the diamond pattern Damascus spacer is perfectly set off by the anodized titanium liners. The knife is also liberally decorated with textured panels of 18k solid gold. This deluxe version of the new Deco Model has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated – and we promise you won’t be disappointed!


Comments: Most of you are probably already familiar with the super clean fully-integral drop-point hunters by knife making legend Ted Dowell – but if you are not you are in for a treat. Ted is one of the 11 Founding Members of the Knife Makers Guild and has never missed a Guild Show. Ted was also way ahead of the curve when he began making fully integral cap and hilt knives, and had the first two for sale at the NRA Show in Portland Oregon in May of 1972!

Even after all these years no one makes a full integral quite like Ted, and I have one I purchased from him for my own collection at a Guild Show in the late 80s that I will never sell! Super clean lines and great fit and finish of the scales remind us of a finely mounted gunstock and we think you will feel the same way.

Own this knife and own a piece of knife making history!

This set include a full integral dagger and a folder.

Ted is gone now, don’t miss this chance to own a piece of a legend.


Comments: One of the most famous and talented knife makers who ever lived, Bill Cronk was a master machinist who died prematurely in 1984.

Always pushing the envelope, some of Cronk’s fantasy inspired creations have never been equaled.

This wonderful Sub-hilt Fighter is a superb study in sculptured steel, with blade, guard and pommel full of swoops and curves characteristic of this fine artist. Handling a Cronk knife is a little bit like discovering the joys of custom knife collecting all over again.

Don’t miss this chance to own a remarkable piece of knife making history.


Comments: Another stunning work of art by the husband and wife team Shaun and Sharla Hansen. This superb Credit Card Dagger opens and closes like silk, and everywhere you look there are interesting details that catch the eye. Sole authors Shaun and Sharla really do it all. That means making the Damascus from scratch and doing all of the elaborate engraving.

Speaking of which, this knife features superb “Bulino” engraving throughout and is one of the very nicest Hansen’s we’ve ever seen! And the entire stainless frame is inlayed with gold as well. 

Award winners at both Atlanta and New York Shows, this team makes only about eight knives a year so they are very tough to come by. We love the superbly engraved frame and the sleek Damascus blade that really bring this work to life.

This knife comes directly from the 2025 Blade Show.

Shaun and Sharla were also guest makers at the 2017 AKI which is the most prestigious knife show in the world!

Don’t let this very special piece slip through your hands!


Comments: Another special knife by Italian knife making veteran Leonardo Frizzi. A long-time member of the Italian Knife Guild, Leonardo has a number of original designs which set him apart from other makers.

This is a stunning new DA Dagger has interesting details wherever you look and is flawlessly machined and carved. The Damascus Dagger blade has an outstanding fuller that is perfectly cut and just the right size!

It also has an elaborately shaped frame which compliments the modern design.

Inlays of Fat Carbon Fiber complete this little masterpiece in style

Comments: Here is another brand new classic slip-joint by top inter-frame maker Tom Overeynder. The Remington 1306 Bullet shape has been around a long time, but no one does it better than Tom. The xxx inch RWL-34 blades are beautifully ground, which nicely complements the Presentation Grade Jigged Bone scales. And the walk and talk is absolutely out of this world!

This knife is the perfect gentleman’s carry piece, so if you don’t already own an Overeynder knife, treat yourself and find out what the walk and talk of a truly top-of -the-line folder is really like. You won’t be disappointed.

Comments: At this point it’s pretty much a given that Steve Johnson makes the finest traditional stock-removal custom knives on the planet. And this model is Steve rendition of the Classic Loveless Wilderness. This particular knife comes from my collection and is absolutely stunning, even by Johnson standards.

The scales are outstanding presentation grade Desert Ironwood, and the grind, fit and finish are just what you would expect from the best – simply flawless!

No serious collection of modern traditional fixed-blade custom knives is complete without at least one Steve Johnson. Don’t let this classic Johnson slip by!

Comments: For those of you not familiar with Schuyler Lovestrand you are in for a treat, as he was one of the best and most talented fixed-blade masters in knife making today. An 18 year Knife Maker’s Guild Member, Schuyler has actually been making knives for almost 25 years and currently has an 18 month waiting list. Many people try to catch him at shows, but since he only attends one a year that’s not as easy as it sounds!

This one of Schuyler’ slick small hunters rendered in CPM-154 and 416 Stainless. The presentation grade Sambar Stag has a wonderful texture which really dresses up the knife. The blade has a wonderful polish and you could not ask for a cleaner or more crisp grind. This work can be compared in quality to anyone making knives today – and we mean anyone! You will not be disappointed.

Schuyler sadly passed away February 2nd, 2025 surrounded by his large and loving family.

This knife is one of the last knives we purchased from him at the 2024 Blade Show in Atlanta.

We purchased our first knife from Schuyler in 1990 at the Knife Makers Guild Show in Orlando.

He will be sorely missed

Another fantastic Fancy Bowie from the Sobral brothers. Complex Damascus blade with artfully shaped steel guard. Handle of Presentation Grade Sambar Stag and Ebony. Superb hand-made leather sheath as well. A unique and fabulous piece of art by the talented Sobral Brothers.
