any knife collectors in the area ?

I am into Striders , Blackwoods , Carsons , Rinaldi's , Simonichs and Burkes. For the past year or so I have been making my own fixed blades , primarily from O1 , 1095 or S30V. Have a small shop set up with a Bader3 grinder , couple drill presses , couple blast cabinets , leather working area , metal cutting bandsaw , chop saw.

any other knife nutz in the Vegas area ?

on of the last blade/sheath combos I finished up :

I collected custom knives a bit a couple years back. Knives make the gun hobby seem like a cheap whore.

Here is my only custom left, it only goes out once a year for Christmas midnight mass, it is a Larry Chew double action..
