Steven,
Nice addition to the collection.
Hadn't heard of Wiggins-Hammond till now.
Is that chamfering/inletting on sides of guard ?
Think I first noticed, really noticed that trend (on forged blades) was on some of Samuel Lurquin's guards.
Thanks for sharing and Congrats on the new piece.
Nice stag, too.

Here are a few from Louisiana makers:
Here is a Outfitter Tanto Prototype by the dearly departed Frank Vought Jr. I bought this from him way back while I was going to SELU in Hammond. I have one of his brush knives also. I had planned on buying several more from him, and still have one of his fliers with prices marked on it, but sadly it was not to be.
Here is a little skinner that Mike Sanders made for me a few years back; bead blasted 440c and sandblasted silver / gray G10 handles.
These three are from Mike Gadowa, a Baton Rouge apprentice maker.
This one is mine.
The bigger version of it and the dagger he has loaned to me to play around with.

Dang, Didn't realize how many of these guys were in Louisiana. In a few years you need to add one of mine to your collection... ;-))
Hi Folks,

I'm From Greenwell Springs. Buying one of Dan Graves knives. He is an incredible knife maker who really does great with ivory and bone.

Here is a Vought Outfitter machete I own. Very nice pattern in 3/32 thick blade stock with a 16in blade. The handles are black micarta and the blade appears to be parkerized.
