Stan, Looks like Ken Steigerwalts work. The man's an artist with knives!

Just a few of my favorites. I've got other custom made damascus blades that I may show later, but just snapped a pic of a few of these that were in the house.

From left to right:

Campolin (Italian maker) Stiletto switchblade (very high quality for a self opener)

Benchmade Osborne

Benchmade Mini-Griptilian

Kershaw (Ken Onion)

Damascus dagger engraved on the bolsters and cap and shield by Geoffrey Gournet

The stiletto and the dagger are my "deacon's meeting knives". The Benchmades and the Kershaw are my favorite working pocket knives.



Over a lifetime (74 yrs.) I have come to the conclusion that the Benchmades are the finest stainless blades made on a commercial scale. The Kershaw sharpens very well, and lasts too.

You are correct Bob,

I’ve only learned of Ken Steigerwalt recently.

Just a few quick pictures.

I gave this knife to my Father for his birthday in 1973. I purchased it at the Army Navy store on 7th St. in Allentown PA. He gave it back to me before he passed. It has special meaning for me.

Any thoughts on Case knives? Are they any good?

Allen I think old ones are desired? I recently got a case stockman and it’s a piece of garbage. Machine marks on the blade, gritty opening and terrible edge. Should have returned it but I sharpened it and will just use it.
