From the genius behind the "Gentleman's Pocket Fixed Blade Knife; three of his knives.

From top to bottom: Apple Coral scales, Mammoth Ivory scales, and Mesquite wood scales...

“Stan McTiernan Hollywood Tanto”

This is a traditional design Tanto, handle and sheath are made from Holly Wood; in its natural color. Ends and spacers are buffalo horn. I believe the blade is Devin Thomas ladder pattern Damascus.

Attended the Dallas Gun and Knife Show two years ago. Didn't sell any knives but I did buy something "Special".

Gene Baskett is a very good custom knife maker from Kentucky. Gene is one of the pioneers of knife makers who use 1911 Stocks for knife handles. I have two of those (one, numbered "5" is his 5th one made; the other, with VZ stocks.

Two years ago I saw a hatchet that Gene made; with a very interesting handle; when closed the handle is 9-1/2"; expanded, 28". Gene used a police expandable baton for a handle. When I looked at it in Dallas and we reached a mutual agreed upon price; now the hatchet lives with me in Texas. Here are a few photos of it:







And here are the bonus Knives of the Day from Gene; #5 and VZ scales:

A few new knives...


Don Cowles "Black Tie" Gaboon Ebony, Alabama Damascus, 24kt gold pins, ruby...a nice knife






Jim Serven knife, with mother of pearl scales. I'll let the photos do the talking; sort of a trick locking knife; I've never seen this before - pull the knife handle apart, rotate the blade 180 degrees, push handles back together again.
