Wow Ken! As usual I'm absolutely blown away by your work.

I just had to ask...will the owner use to open wine, hold a cigar and cut some sausage and cheese? I hope so.

I hope so also! I built every implement to work as intended.

Weekend project? Seriously, that's some mad skills you've got there, Ken. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

My head just exploded!

The fact that you used checkered ebony is just icing on the cake!!!

That looks like a crazy amount of work. The scissors are my favorite component. Having made a few simple slippies I can somewhat appreciate the amount of effort required to make that all work together:thumbup:

I'm with Darcy. I just came in from sweeping the shop (all I can do until my VFD comes home) and I was playing with the parts to a basic sodbuster I'm working on. I can't imagine the time and mental and physical skill that took. That sir, is why I love handmade knives. From nothing, to something more, to something even more, to a knife, all from nothing more than the sheer will and mind of man.

I also agree with T, the checkered ebony just made a great knife even more mind blowing.

Worth bumping this thread just to see the Sportsman's knife in the first post! I couldn't copy it unfortunately!!

Charlie you made my heart stop. I was expecting something new from Ken and really hoping. Imagine my disappointment when I saw the first date...

Now that's an amazing knife right there Ken Erikson !
I love the old Horseman's & Sportsman's knives, and the VIctorinox Swiss army knives, which are kind of boring compared to these old multi-tool knives, and Ken's knife !
I just recently discovered how so many guys are customizing the Victorinox SAK knives.
I was happy just to figure out how to add some nice Sambar scales to my favorite old Executive (74mm) knife !
Love that Ken Erikson knife !

Yes it's beautiful....

airmojo K Ken has not been on the forum in almost three years, and this thread is 7 years old.

Old news. No reason the bring it up. We refrain on this reposting, UNLESS there is current new info.

Sorry. Welcome.

 

[waynorth]

No reason the bring it up.

I for one am happy that this thread popped up again, if for no other reason than wallowing in nostalgia!! Going back to post number one, and seeing and remembering what a great talent Ken has for knifemaking is a welcome "rocking chair on the Porch" adventure!!
I sure miss Ken's productions of Traditional masterpieces!!
