Blade Show 09 Preview

At least most of them. I'm still working on a couple of knives for the show, but just finished posting a preview page on my site. You can see them here: Blade Show 09 Preview or by following the link on my home page: www.caffreyknives.net

I'm up to my ears in leather work right now, but should have all the sheaths done and ready for the show.

Heres a peek......

Thanks for showing the lineup Ed. Really nice stuff, and looks like a bunch of pain in the tail details. Smooth sailing with the sheath work.

Take care, Craig

They are all very nice Ed. That is a lot of gold -- and a lot of work. It turned out well. I love the look of gold in blued steel, but it looks even better in blued Damascus.

My favorite is the small bowie. I really like that pattern. Near the spine just a bit in front of the plunge cut, I see a raccoon face, and I like that too

Thanks for showing.

Brian

Ed,
Thanks for sharing. Waiting for the preview was worth every minute. To bad I won't get the chance to hold on to one. Good luck at Atlanta.

Have a safe trip.

Thanks Fellas! Right now my fingers are hurting from all the stitching I've been doing the last couple of days on sheaths for all of those knives.

I still have to build 6 kydex sheaths for the EBKs I'm taking to the show, but the last two hunter sheaths are hanging outside drying in the sunshine!

Jim: You got all those JS test knives done? I still haven't seen any pics!!
