Default New Knife by Arley
Recently Arley put a knife up for sale that I liked but it sold quickly. Arley and I talked and he made this beauty for me.

Custom Leather Sheath


Damascus Blade (1095 and 15n30)

Ebony Scales


The scales are the same wood that used to be used on piano keys. He had a hard time working on them because of how dense the wood is. But they should last a long time.

Great work and a great knife.

Matt, knives to me are like guns to you. Always looking for the next one. Except, I rarely part with a knife.

Beautiful Damascus, A. Not a fan of leather sheats, but great job there too.
Will you carry it? :decisions, decisions...
Enjoy it!

Exactly what are you trying to say, Andy?

Actually, I'm finally to a point where I know what I like and I love what I have. The downside to that is I have nothing left to sell so whatever I acquire going forward is coming out of pocket. I know, I know, what I bought then sold came out of pocket too but somehow it never felt that way - lol.

What concerns me is how much I'm looking forward to getting that Perrin Street Bowie ... I feel I'm on the precipice of "next."

Very Nice Andy,

Matt and just make yourself a list, and buy one at a Time..........


BTW Matt we all know why you cant buy a knife last time you bought one you thought you were Crocodile Dundee and your better half confiscated it from you
