As a proud owner of one of Kevin's knives, I can tell you guys that are drooling over this, you ain't wasting your spit!  They ARE worth drooling over!

Damn nice knives, bet they sit really nice in the hand

I've always liked that style.  Alittle more dagger shaped and you've got yourself what I call a steamboat gambler's knife.  I've always wanted to try one, maybe you've given me the gumption.  8) thanks, dpg

Awesome work as usual Kevin. Your steel is as good as it gets my friend.

I second JW, we were comparing our knives we got at the Classic. I sure wish I new a certain Tomahawk could have been had before it was traded. :'(

Same here, Eddie.  Having a hawk to go with the knife that goes with my gun would be an awfully satisfying acquisition.

  The simplicity of those designs hide how complex your work truly is. well executed. VERY COOL.
