Atlanta Blade Show 2005
Blade Show 2005
A new friend described the Atlanta Blade Show as a giant party for custom knifemakers, manufacturers, and every kind of knife enthusiast there is. And that it truly is.
At this show I have added some great makers, new to our collection, but by no means new to the world of knives.
Gaetan Beauchamp from Canada is a truly great nature artist and knife maker.
Raymond Richard from Oregon, adds his own unique style to these sturdy hand-forged full tang Mountain man knives.
We are starting to show some of Chris Reeve’s truly great working tools.
Not to mention our not quite new, but new Randall knife.
The DaVinci collection of William Henry knives represents one of their finest collectable series.
A new Tactical knife from Bud Nealy is in the realm of “The Art of War”.
We have two great new Rifleman style knives from Jim Miller and several styles of skinners from Arno Bernard.
As always it’s great to see and talk with Nancy and Jay Hendrickson. Their gentle determination contributes greatly to making the world of contemporary knifemaking a wonderful hobby and business. Jay’s new knives are always a treat.
Dan Winkler’s new knives always represent the primitive sophistication of style, form and function that are some of my personal favorites.
Though not yet up on the site, Kellam Knives are helping to bring us some good working field knives, as well as some knife jewelry from Finland.
Hope you all enjoy the new work as much as I enjoy putting it together, and as always, if you have any questions, please email me: fred@artknives.com
Thanks.
Fred Eisen
I would like to extend condolences to the family and friends of Frank Potter, whom I knew only briefly as a great knife maker. He passed away the week after the Blade Show.
