My newest fighter......

[Raymond Richard]

Just got this knife together. Its got a 1060 blade thats 7 3/4" and an overall length of 13". The guard on this one is 1018 with wrought iron 8 balls. The other fittings are also wrought iron with a piece of Euro stag for the handle.

Here's a picture of the newest and the one from earlier in the week.

Both knives are awesome, but I like the one with the longer blade a little better. It looks more balanced to me. I would also change the buttcap I think. It just looks out of place to me on the knife. Maybe it wouldn't if I saw it in person, but from the profile shot, I think it detracts from the lines of otherwise perfect knives, nice work.

Kile, Here's a link to another one of my knives that will give you a better idea as to what your looking at: http://www.bladegallery.com/knives/knife.asp?knifeid=3085&pics=small&alt=one The butt cap and nut ring are the way I make my knives. It holds everything together......

I think the line and texture are beautiful. What was your tecnique for attaching the balls on the end of the guard?

Drill and tap the balls and thread the ends of the guard and then JB'd.....

I love your style Ray. Recognizable and has the rustic flare that make you want to pick it up and use it.

 

[Mark Williams]

Hey Ray, Do you offer knifemakers discounts ?

 

[Raymond Richard]

Mark, As a matter of fact the price just went up. I entered the larger one in the Bowie/Fighter compitition at the BAKCA Show Saturday and it won that class. Surprized the heck out of me since they gave it back to me and didn't say a thing till the awards banquet after the show.....

Incredible pieces! I love the blade shape, the guards, the handle... oh heck, it's all awesome.
