Matthew Bray, for his first time out, decided to do a beautiful job dressing up this Ocelot blade with Black Walnut for the scales , Purple Heart and Birch spacers, and some brass bolsters. Mattehw is at: cbray1@nc.rr.com | |

Peter Van Der Valk of the Netherlands send along this picture of this creative work, made from an old saw blade with a walnut and wenge handle made from an old table. You've got to love when recycling yields a beauty like this. Peter is at: slechtvalk@planet.nl | |
|
This sleek creation is another "recycled" beauty from Peter Van Der Valk. I love the matching handle and wood sheath, made from walnut. I'm never going to throw my old saw blades away again. | |

Bob Bair sent along these pictures of his absolutely beautiful Hawk Blade , done with Spalted Maple scales ( hardened with a water thin super glue) . Notice the black-white-black fiber spaces under the scales and the mosaic pins. Very nice touch. Bob is at: bair@mlode.com | |

19 year old Matt Garrison sent along a picture of this beauty: ground from 1085 steel, hand polished with 800 grit sandpaper, this working knife features corian scales with hidden pin construction. I want to see what Matt is doing in a few years from now. Matt is at: SevenPt85@aol.com | |

Another beauty submitted by Kata Nam. This sleek and functional design started out as a Delta 5 Chute blade. Kata heavily modified the guard profile, used horn scales with micarta bolsters and trim. Kata is at: kataliewici@yahoo.com | |
|
First time out for Melvyn Wright: he choose to use spalted maple burl handles on a Northland Skinner. Dig those gunshell cartridge rear pins! Nice touch. Melvyn is at bigmel003@netzero.net | |

Abe Getty made this pretty cool looking puukko blade with a burl handle and the crown from a (reindeer?) antler. Click on the photo to also see the excellent sheath that he made to go with it. This just looks like a hard working blade, doesn't it? Abe is at abe@iceweb.net | |
 |
This is a Riverboat Rita boot blade with an unusual, very high tech touch: scales made from a PC board encased in epoxy resin. Again, take a look at the larger photo to see the excellent high tech sheath that Abe Getty made for this knife. | |
 |
Frank Chikey mostly grinds his own, but sent pictures of this excellent Cobra blade done with maroon micarta scales. That's one aggressive looking blade! And take a look at that gorgeous handmade sheath! Frank is at : FECGMNG@aol.com | |
 |
Ken Martineit sent along pictures of his first ( yes I said first) puukko blade, made with brass spacers, a sambar stag butt cap and a dark wood spacer from a plate he got at a garage sale ( now there's something I can identify with !) . Looks like this is a knife that's going to earn it's keep. Ken is at: lodo@bigplanet.com | |
 |
Another beautiful creation from knifemaker Bob Bair ( email above) , this time a Puukko design with brass and buffalo spacers, and a brass butt cap. Puukkos are considered to be utility knives but there's no reason they can't be gorgeous. | |
 |
Very imaginative creation by Ryan N who started with a SharkTooth Blade embellished with copper scales. Ryan is a jeweler by trade ( that explains a lot doesn't it? ) and believe it or not, this is his first blade. 's not his last. Ryan is at ryan@remnantds.com | |
 |
Beautiful Mongoose Blade by Ben Beardsmore uses hidden pin construction and has maple and cocobolo handles with a bloodwood spacer. Pretty cool, ain't it? . Ben is at abb@sfu.ca | |
 |
Another Ben Beardsmore creation, this time a Ferret Blade with bloodwood handles. The sheath compliments it very nicely, also. Ben says this is only his second knife. Hard to believe. | |

Steve Kozak dressed up the classically styled All American lockback folder . Scales are York Gum Burl. Not sure what that is, but it sure is pretty. Steve is at SKozak8169@aol.com |
