Knives

[mark knapp]

Here are a couple of flashes from the past. Occasionally I get to see some knives I made twenty years, or so, again. It's a pleasure to see old work again and put a new polish on things.


This is a Randall Knife I put a handle on years ago. It has a handle of mammoth tooth and musk ox horn. Randall knives are, arguably, the most collected, hand made knife in the world, out of Orlando Florida. The waiting list is about five years for one of their knives and some times, people will get a new knife and send it to you to put a handle on it right out of the box. It's kind of a special thing to be asked to do that.


Several years ago I taught a fellow knife maker how to make knives. He's gone now but the first knife we made together is still around. I just bought this knife back from it's original owner to help him in hard times. I refurbished it. All it really needed was a new rub down. Now it's ready for a new owner.


Using the CNC to engrave some new 1911 Combat Survivors. It's a hollow handle survival knive I have a patent on that I developed and build in my shop.

This has been a great project. I'd like to pass it on to a new guy to carry on.


Designing and building a liner lock folder for the gentleman. They will have MOP handles on damascus and mokume frames and damascus blades. We call them "Edged Jewelry".

Thanks for looking.

That one is of mammoth tooth and musk ox horn. I'm the only one doing it with those materials as far as I know. It's a small world. (Randall customs)

Yeah you just don't see them like that anymore. That was a beauty. I hope the proud owner actually used it as it was intended to be. Would love to get my hands on one but we don't get many knife shows here in Phoenix.

There's a gun and knife show in Phoenix (in May) but the closest full blown knife shows might be in Texas. There's some good ones there.

You'd think that Alaska would have an excellent knife show seeing that it is arguably the hunting capitol of the world. But so many functions just don't get done up here simply because of the logistics to make them happen. Sheer distance away from everything else sure can be a deal breaker it seems.

People have tried. We have such a small customer base that it just doesn't work. We all go outside to show at knife shows down there. Atlanta has the biggest knife show in the world every year, in June.

With 950 exhibitors and over 10,000 attendees we don't have the facilities sorry to say.
