I like the simplicity of yours, A10. Be just the thing to have along on a walk!
It is sublte that's for sure. Just looks like a stick, and when you draw you actually have two weapons, a club and a sword!

Here is a bit of an unusual "knife"
crafted at Old Washington Historic State Park

Unfortunately I don't have any local makers. Here are a few that I've traded for from other areas. ( I love a good horse trade! ) This is an up and coming knife maker from Hesperia MI Kevin Halverson
An excellent knife maker from Alabama-Clarence Smitherman
Frank Skugniack Wisconsin
This is an early Evans
And here is what I make that I use for trade fodder

Thanks everyone for a great thread. I love looking at these creations that blend art and utility. I find art in guns, motorcycles and bicycles, too, but they are typically manufactured items, while custom knives are more often the product of a single individual and his workshop.

We have a lot of talented local makers here in WNC, but this piece is my favorite:
Forged from a 1" roller bearing (52100) with optimum heattreat (note the multiple temper lines) and a killer piece of milk-white stag. Nickel-silver guard and buttcap.
Did I mention that it was made by my son for my last birthday?
Here's Ed Fowler giving it a lookover at the Blade Show:
I have a few other nice pieces in the collection but this one is special.

Pat

Here's a Michael Morris PeeWee I picked up recently. Morris is in Michigan and makes knives out of files.
Just arrived home after a trip to Oregon to visit with my long time friend Robin, daughter of the greatest American knifemaker, Bob Loveless. I once asked Bob to put an edge on my buck knife not knowing really who he was. That was in Lawndale, Calif. in 1971. I still have that knife and will treasure it as long as I am alive!
