Re: Tantolizer

The knife PortlandMike so graciously posted is indeed the one that inspired me and I think it looks awesome in brass and that horn. JimBrown257 should be able to build either of the designs I show here. I just wanted to see them on a larger scale, but Mike, yours is a gem. Gravknife and Sammy, thank...

Another Success Story?

Tyrone was having trouble in school; his teacher was always yelling at him, "You're driving me crazy, Tyrone; can't you learn anything? One day Tyrone's mother came to school to see how he was doing. The teacher told her honestly that her son was simply a disaster, getting very low marks, and that s...

Tantolizer

A week or so back one of my Facebook group members posted a beautiful bayonet bladed Frosolone by JimBrown257 which reminded me of a picture I had captured and saved a long time ago and shown below. This is a stylised version of a tanto (which Bill DeShivs called a "ridiculous grind that added nothi...

You're probably thinking of Lelle Floris, but Antonio does as well.

Re: Antonio Contini Masterpiece

Beautiful design and execution! Everything about it looks elegant and precise. I've visited his site a few times and have been sorely tempted. Do the blades on his automatics tend to be wiggle-free, and if so, do they stay that way after the mechanism breaks-in? I own one of his knives from previou...

Antonio Contini Masterpiece

My dear friend and Master Cutler, Antonio Contini, had a go at one of my designs. He changed it a bit, and while not exactly like mine, it's pretty close, and, of course, entirely gorgeous. No, I didn't buy it, but a fellow collector did. https://images2.imgbox.com/dd/81/garDCNml_o.jpg https://image...

Mad as in angry? Of course not, my email is oldandfat for a reason. Mad as insane? Definitely. You're my bud, Sam!

Hot Diggity

Two Irish nuns have just arrived in USA by boat and one says to the other, "I hear that the people in this country actually eat dogs." "Odd," her companion replies, "but if we shall live in America, we might as well do as the Americans do." Nodding emphatically, the mother superior points to a hot d...

Scrawny Monkey

The picture is a dual action automatic from the Vallottons and called a "Chunky Monkey". https://images2.imgbox.com/95/25/794H9ogK_o.jpg Inspired by this unique grind I narrowed the width and created a 12" picklock swing guard with a bottomless fishtail design. I guess you could call mine a Scrawny ...
