York Pa Show.

Things fell apart this morning on the way to York Pa. By the time that I got there, ALL of the tables were gone! This is a first for this promoter. What this means is that I now have new knives that haven't been shown anywhere else. The new knives are from Blind Horse Knives, Bark River and me.

Blind Horse Knives

I have just placed four knives from BHK online. They include the Classic Frontier First Patch Knife, the Boat Tail Scandi and a Custom Workhorse.

New Steel

The supply of 4140 steel that Blind Horse Knives uses for their Patch knives is getting low and they are switching to O1. O1 is a more common steel for knife making and performs well for the work that I have done with it.

Upcoming Shows

We will be at the following shows this month:

2/12-14 Dulles Expo Center Chantilly Va
2/20-21 Equestrian Center Upper Marlboro Md
2/27-28 Fairgrounds York Pa

I am planning on having new knives from Blind Horse and several of my own at these shows.

Helle Knives from Norway

The Norwegian knife maker has announced that they now carry a full lifetime warranty on all of their models. This is the sign of a company that sees the value of their work as I always have.

Blind Horse Knives

BHK has just posted their Feb. special! The knives have been made by John and Scooter with 1/4 inch 4140 steel. That is a heavy duty version of the Patch Knives that BHK has been producing for a while. The knives come in black or green micarta with black or brown leather dangler style sheaths.

Purchase the special here!

Bruce Gillespie

Bruce makes his knives from ATS-34, D2, 440C and 1095. His styles range from traditional hunters to classic styles with Wharncliffe blades. He also makes Japanese inspired blades. While this Fighter/Bowie is a little larger than I usually carry, I just had to get it for FBKnife. Bruce actually cast and worked the guard.

Limited Editions

In the custom knife field, it is possible for a customer to choose the steel, handle and sheath for their knife. However, sometimes they don't pick up their new toy. In this case, here is a Blind Horse, First Patch Knife with a polished micarta handle.

Here I will be posting news about new knives, makers, laws, tech information and anything else of interest to the knife community.
