Default Sigh, damn thing reached out of the case and grabbed me

Recent acquisition......(s)

I really tried to resist the urge to buy the DW Guardian in 45 this year.... To go with my 2010 9mm, and my 2011 vbob


Every good gun needs a knife right? So i picked these up also.

Sweet, you can always use one more. With that knife you are ready for bear.

Beware LGS, they can lead to impulse buying!

thanks all the kinves are from Dave Loukides of prayer knives. He is a local to me (Cheshire CT) journeyman knife maker.
http://www.prayerknives.com/

I picked up 8 or so of his knives. These are all his photos. Mine are horrible compared to them. It should show you what a Journeyman Knife maker From the ABS can do.
The following images are his. The first group are the 8 knives i purchased. The second group are the knives I sadly left behind.


























Second group, the knives I left behind.






A little about my search. I contacted about 15 Regional (east coast)journeyman knife makers over the last few months. Dave was 1 of 2 local to me in CT. On top of that he is one of 3 who answered the phone/email and the only one with stock on hand. My transaction went fantastic. The knives are everything i was looking for. They are good solid pieces of workmanship, that can be admired and used. Some, are just jaw droppingly gorgeous. I use the 8 inch kitchen knife every day, By far and away the single best kitchen knife I have ever owned. I have had knives 5 times the cost. Three of the knives are now with world travelers and guides. One in Switzerland, two in Iceland. Their esteem of them was amazing.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
