Two new ones...

[JC]

Here are two new ones I just recieved from custom knife maker Lynn Dawson. Both are her blade design and filework in damascus, I gave her complete artistic freedom for the handle materials....I wasn't disappointed in the end results.



I'm pretty picky about knives and these two are two of the few knives I would not change anything about. They are both very functional pieces of art and I feel blessed to have them.  Now if I can convince Bo to quit working on saddles long enough to sew me two new sheaths I'll be ready to get some blood on them this season.

[skullworks]

Freakin' awesome!!!! Love that buckeye(?) burl on top! Beautiful knives!

[Lewis Brookshire III]

WOW!!! I like both of them but I really like the bottom one!

[Lewis Brookshire III]

JC, do you knoe what the wood in the top knife is? It's awesome looking.

[sticshooter]

Very sweet knives JC. Lewis I just knew which knife you would like best!LOL<><

[tippit]

JC,  That bottom one looks like the Bigger Skinner you showed me on the last year's bear hunt.  You keep pushing my inventory...already got pictures & cardboard silhouettes filed away  :D   Doc

[Lewis Brookshire III]

Frank you know me all to well! LOL

I really like the curves drop pn the blade. I have made a few like that. I just really like the looks of that blade style.

[JC]

Doc, it's a lot like that one only a bit smaller in blade and a better handle in my opinion. Haven't put this new one to the tes but I bet it will work like the other....a champ at skinning. I'll bring it for more patterns.

Yes, the upper knife is buckeye burl...and a really sweet piece at that. Handle contours have to be felt and seen to be fully appreciated. Needless to say, it fits like a piece of playdo (that is, actually better than a glove). Not sure what the lower handle is...can't remember what she told me.

Lewis, I really like that kind of blade too. And Doc became a fan after using my other skinner...you have to try to cut through a pelt with that blade shape.

Thanks for the comments guys...but the credit goes to Lynn. she is an excellent steel artist.
