Pioneers and Legends of Knifemaking

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a soft spot in my heart for the pioneers and legends of the knifemaking world. When I attended my first Blade Show in 1985 in Knoxville, Tennessee, I had the privilege of meeting Joe Drouin, world renown knife collector. Joe invited me to hold all of these fantastic blades that I had only read about. I noticed on the corner of his table he had a small collection of blades made by deceased makers. I thought to myself, what a tribute to these men and women. Every year that I attended a show where Joe was displaying his collection, I noticed the little section starting to grow a little more each year. I then started a small collection of deceased makers, so that one day, I might be able to display my collection to a whole new audience of men and women who may not have known these men and women. I have approx 25 pieces.
Show us your knives by these great men and women. I'll try to shoot a few pics later this week. I am always looking for an interesting peice if the price is right. I am looking for a couple more pieces before I try to display them at a major show. I hope one day to carry on where Joe left off. This is our history.

I have a couple of knives by Lloyd Hale, a Warenski, a Harry McEvoy Bowie and a Chubby Hueske knife that I'll try to get a take a pic of later.

Your collection looks good. I have a nice Chubby Hueske Texan that I didn't realize I had until recently. I inherited it from an older brother who worked with Chubby.
