Well,I was telling Menefee I need to start a thread here for Larry's knives. Long over due ,but with this new video he created showing some Damascus work, there is no better timing.
I'll post some pictures of Larry's knives . Please add if you would like.

Here is the video :

Should've kept this one

Vince,
What is this handle material? Very nice...

picked this little Rosi up from Vince last fall. It is so close to perfect that it just amazes me. Bocote Wood handle. Antlers tipped me off that it was available.

It is dyed & stabilized maple,or buckeye ,or ?

very cool and well done video.

If you knew how hard Larry has worked at learning the art of making great knives you would be impressed. He is dedicated to it.

Larry also built and designed the press you see in the video. Scrounged up parts and the hydraulic fittings and tubing and put it all together. Pretty talented guy.

ar33c9 Handle is Green dyed Box Elder

Cool stuff Larry. Video is too short though. I'd like to see more in depth on the Damascus billets.

Let me know when you decide to start turning out some Stamascus.

Dale

Dale Drive on up and I'll show ya all I can.You can test drive the Ron Clairborne press I have for sale and take it home.Will make Damascus,knives and drink some Iron City Beer!!! Don't get much better!!!

If you weren't so damned far away I would take you up on that offer. I'd really like to get into damascus more and would love to talk to you about that press. Unfortunately, I can't see coming that far to get it and I doubt shipping it is viable.

He has some good Whiskey stashed in there someplace. Corner cabinet if I remember correctly.

You remember WELL my brother!!

Larry's Press

That thing is a monster. Looked pretty incredible in use in the use.

Dale

Damn!! Nobody has a BLOODY L J Rosi Knife Pic to post??

I used that black paper Nicaragua/ blue liner B&T that I got from you a bunch of times this year. Did about 200 ringnecks, hand full of grouse, a turkey, and two deer. I will have to look through my pics and see what I can find.

Stag stick tang hunter

Very nice. Larry must have a helluva stash of stag squirreled away.

Here's some of it

Vince the third on down after the one on the antlers what is it called, I like the looks of it. Thanks for your time.
Cheers NC

The Damascus blade and the one one below it like them both.
Cheers NC

This one :

is the same profile as the Damascus knife,and below is a drop point

Yes that is the one. I thing is a very neat classy looking knife and if I was in the market would jump on it. Never could understand why a knife like that was always referred to as a trout and bird knife. Thanks. Cheers NC
