Not your typical fixed blade...this one is by my friend Tim Wright of Sedona. He makes some fantastic kitchen knives and a take down folder (not for the faint of heart at $3000+) that is as fine a piece of craftsmanship as I've ever seen. AEB-L .070" thick, full convex ground, black linen micarta.

I am spending the night in Sedona this weekend.
Does he have a shop?
He doesn't have a shop open to the public. Never owned a car, travels by bike.
He does no commercial advertising...word of mouth only.
His delivery time is probably a year (or more) out.
Looks like a sweet bird and trout.
A friend from the net and now local collects B&T type knives...
Come to think of it, I should invite him over here... :bigthumb:
Gus,
Tim calls it a small wharncliffe, I'd call it a paring knife. AEB-L is a steel normally used for razor blades....very fine carbides. I think the edge is too thin for cutting bones, but it does slice well. Notice the maker's mark is milled, not stamped. Also, it doesn't have a choil. He doesn't like them since they tend to hang up on stuff when cutting.
He is extremely smart and a witty as hell.

Sounds like he and Adam would get along famously. :)Quote:

The fixed blades are not out of sight price wise, most are under $400. Although the bolsters are attached, you can't see any joints. The tang stops just a bit past the last corby bolt. You can run your hand over any part of the knife (except the blade edge) and not find a hot spot....even the notches on the spine. My buddy Mike Lovett's knives are as nice, but no one else finishes up a knife as cleanly as Tim.
JB, you're a southpaw, right?
Carried one of my few non-lefty-converted Emerson's today... this one rides in my right pocket. Cut up the lunch apple with it. :)
