Not only does A. T. Barr make great knives (he's retired from making knives now though) he and his wife Barbara are good friends.

Here's a liner lock by A. T. with maroon micarta scales:

That’s my favorite blade profile on a broken blade. [emoji106]

Seventy-five years ago the Allies were coming ashore in waves to the beaches of Normandy. Six years ago during a visit with my wife's son in Paris we spent 3 days in Normandy France including St. Mere Iglais, Gold/Juno Beach and Omaha Beach including the US Military Cemetery there. Humbling. Everyone should try to visit Normandy and the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC. That's even more humbling because there are shipmates on the wall.

Since it's D-Day +75 Years here's a military issued knife; the Cattaraugus Q225; a knife intended for Quartermasters and Supply types; big thick blade to pry open wooden crates and a bit steel butt for driving the nails back in the wood!

Every so often I run across a commercial knife that I like. Helle, of Norway is one such knife. This knife is one of them.

Not only is Mickey Yurco and his wife are good friends; but Mickey has a wicked sense of humor and has some wild ideas about knives that he makes.

This one is no different; he calls this his Fish Knife!

Gone, but not forgotten. I buy, sell, and trade custom made knives...accumulate more then I sell darn it but every once in a while I get one for a very nice price and someone wants to give me more money then I paid for it. That's the case with the Bailey Bradsaw knife. Ivory, engraved bolsters an elegant knife. Sold.

Well after two weeks spent in Cancun and Playa del Carmen "He's back!" Let's start out with a Bob Lovelace designed Gerber Guardian. The only thing I don't like about this knife is the funky belt clip...

Although I've shown the Fred Rowe knife that my ex-wife scrimshawed I haven't posted the first custom knife I bought. Similar in style but smaller, is this Fred Rowe knife - damascus, stag, copper spacers and butt cap, and I believe ambonya burl wood handle.

http://iwantthatknife.com/Gallery/al.../two_rowes.jpg

Here is my latest knife, a chef's knife in AEB-L steel hardened to 62 Rockwell. Handle is stabilized spalted oak from the back yard.

It's a prototype for knives I want to make for my three sisters for Christmas.

Who knew rotten wood could be so beautiful, LOL

Love the look of that handle. ^^^^^^

The guy that did the stabilizing for me said he could sell those on eBay for $35-$40 per pair easily. He's in Arizona and he said it's too hot right now to work in his shop, but when the weather cools down in the fall I'm going to send him a bunch of spalted oak scales to stabilize. He's uses "Cactus Juice" in a vacuum chamber. Cactus Juice is a thermal setting resin, and when used in a vacuum chamber it penetrates the fibers all the way through, turning a piece of wood into basically wood micarta.

The Cactus Juice and a finish coat of epoxy varnish bring out the colors and contrasts better than anything else I've tried, and I've tried a lot of things.

At a knife show in Michigan around 2005 or so Roger "Mudbone" Jones walked up to my wife and I and said both of you give me a penny. OK we did and Roger handed both my wife and I a handmade knife, made from a file. He said its tradition that when someone gives you a knife you give them a penny.

Never for sale, here's mine:

Mike Stewart and his crew at Bark River Knife and Tool in Escanaba, MI make some very nice knives. My ex-wife does excellent scrimshaw; here's a combination of both!
