Herman Williams-My Latest Addition
The Schrade 75th Anniversary Clasp, has long been one of my favorites. I asked Herman if he would be so kind as to make me one in Stag, which turned out to be a problem as Stag is now very hart to find in big hunks.
However after much ado, he was able to fill the order.
It was a long trip from South Carolina to Spokane to Australia, but on casting a critical eye over it, find that it is one of the most amazing knives i have seen, and definitely the best worked knife i have seen.
When he says fully worked, it is fully worked. He doesn't miss anything.
Check it out and see what you think.

Amazing Tony!
I would say it is fully worked and then some!
That is beautiful work, but Herman was the one who really started customizing knives, at least of Schrades.

I've seen some of Herman's other custom clasp knives and they are all fantastic. But your's is the nicest one that I have seen. Beautiful!

What I like most about it is how well the handles are matched. That's just astonishing.

Chris,
It is great to see you!
Please send me an email as I lost your email address.
Tony has put together quite a collection hasn't he?
I wished I lived a few thousand miles closer, I would love to see both your collections!
Take care my friend.

Dale, Chris and i would love to get to see you, and attend the Oregon Knife Show. That is on our bucket list, not to mention checking out your vast collection, and neat workshop.
For those who commented of the 75th...many thanks. It is now my prized knife, and sits front and centre in my knife cabinet.

Dale,
Email inbound.
My small collection pales into insignificance compared to Tony's.
His latest display cabinet is nothing short of brilliant.
take care also, Chris.
