Are you thinking that JR Cook is not going to make or post any knives? Well I am some what  behind and am not sure what I will be able to finish. Here is what I am working on for the Micro Show. And by the way, after Jerry saw some of the work I have finished he said I  will have to put all of my knives in the drawing. So I won't be able to sell them before the show as last year. He said that was more fair to the other makers there?

Here is a Damascus "W" pattern Dagger.  I will add the finished picture when I can get it. I have also forged out a real nice mount for this knife.  I won't be posting it. I want it to be a surprise! I think you will all like it.  The handle is Ivory.



This is a Damascus "W" pattern reproduction of an Edward Barnes & Son Bowie.  I will be making some modifications to the  handle and blade. It won't be an exact reproduction as it is a Damascus Blade. The handle I will carve out of Ivory and it will be a little bigger.



I got this one finished, as you can see it is not an exact reproduction of the knife pictured above, but I did get my inspiration from it.
The blade is 6-3/4" and it is 11-3/4" overall. All of the fittings are Iron and the grip is Elephant Ivory I have carved. 
As you know I offer ALT knives numbered 1-10.  All of the ALT knives for 2010 have been spoken for. I wanted to make something special for this show,
so I have started  what I am calling my Pinnacle Series and I am using the un-numbered ALT stamp that I had reserved for my personal knives made for me.
So this is the first knife of the series. It being a Pinnacle Series  the knife is mounted on the stand pictured below.


Here is the knife  mounted in the stand I forged out of Iron.  It is mounted on a walnut block. I sure enjoyed making this knife and I hope you all like it.
The Pinnacle Series is not to take away from the other ALT numbered knives. It is to give me the opportunity to expand  my work to another level of artistic dimension





This is a Damascus Composite  "W" pattern Modified.  Just a personal carry



This is a Damascus Composite "W" pattern Modified South West Bowie.



This is all I had planned to make and I don't know for sure  I will be able to finish them all. I will post the finished knives as they come along.
See you guys soon.
