Here are two Romano knives, and they are mighty fine.
Details below.
#1


The sub-hilt is 12" OAL with a 7" blade.
The single-guard is 11 1/2" long with a 6 1/2" blade.
Both feature a beautifully tapered tang and elegantly thin red handle spacers that attract the right kind of attention. The primo stag handle scales are to be admired.
And those grind lines... wow!
Loveless's brilliant knife designs represent the perfect fusion of beauty and danger (IMHO).
Ricardo Romano takes that primal inspiration and translates it perfectly - clean and true. ]]> Show Us Your Knives Buddy Thomason http://www.customknifecollectorsassociation.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2307 <![CDATA[John Greco "Thorn and Sticker" Missing]]> http://www.customknifecollectorsassociation.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2306&goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 01:42:16 GMT ---Quote (Originally by dredd8)--- My dad had these knives in his house and have recently come up missing after some work being done in his home. ...

Everyone please keep your eyes open for these knives and PLEASE contact me if you run across them.

It is a set from the 80's made by John Greco called "Thorn and Sticker", scrimshawed and engraved.

These knives came in this wooden/glass display case.

Number four in a series of five numbered, engraved, ivory-handled Damascus knives, this Side-shell Hunting Dagger was made by John White, engraved by Joe Mason, and photographed by Jim Cooper.

The 12 inch blade is explosion-wrapped feather Damascus, and all fittings are multi-bar "W" Damascus. The take-down frame handle has carved Pre-Ban Ivory scales.

Joe Mason executed the bold, gold-inlayed and engraved embellishments on knife, sheath studs, and take-down tool cap.

John White also made the deerskin lined, African Blackwood sheath, which has horn throat and engraved Damascus studs.

The knife and sheath will be first shown at Blade 2013 in Atlanta the end of this month on a custom stand by John White.

Here are Jim Cooper's documenting photographs.





Legacy Series #1, engraved by Joe Mason, was first shown at the Arkansas Show 2009, where it won "Best Art Knife."

Legacy Series #2, engraved by Brian Hochstrat, was first shown at Blade 2012, and was featured on the cover of Knives 2012.

Legacy Series #3, engraved by Joe Mason, was first shown at Blade 2011, where it won "Best Bowie."

This series, suggested by a patron and friend, in collaboration with fellow artisans, has been a great pleasure, and both a source and record of my development in this craft.

Its destiny is to be on display at the National Knife Museum. As most everyone here probably knows, the Museum is housed at Smoky Mountain Knifeworks in Sevierville, TN.

I was very honored to have been asked to donate a piece to the museum, and I'll deliver it in a couple weeks to the Blade Show in Atlanta. The blade is 7 1/2 " of feather-pattern damascus steel. Overall length is 12 1/4". The fittings are sculpted damascus with a file-worked German silver spacer behind the guard. The scales are Wooly Mammoth ivory. It's an art knife and may not appeal to all tastes, but is is comfortable in the hand, balanced, and cuts like a light sabre! My crummy photo so please don't be harsh.

Cheers,

I would like to introduce our 2013 CKCA Cancer Research Benefit Knives.
A huge thanks to the ACE Group, who are also CKCA members, Tom Ferry, John Christensen, David Lisch, Michael Ruth Jr and Michael Vagnino for this beautiful 'Matched Set' Bowie Knife and Folder. More information on these impressive knives will be coming.

As in the past, we will kick-off this project at our CKCA Banquet the Thursday night before Blade Show. This outstanding set will be displayed at the Banquet and at the CKCA Booth in the lobby of Blade Show. Please help us support cancer research. With your help the CKCA has contributed over $34,000 to cancer research over the last 4 years.

Our 2013 contribution from the raffle of this set will go to The "V" Foundation for Cancer Research. In the past we have designated which type cancer we wanted our contribution to go towards, however this year we will let the "V" use our contribution to where it's most needed. 100% of all contributions to the "V" Foundation go directly to cancer research.

And, last but not least, another of my B.U.H.K. models, "antiqued" with natural Micarta scales.
