Hello from South Florida

[jklein7401]

Hello everyone, my name is Jon Klein . I have been collecting since the early 1970"s first knife I still have it is a Jimmy Lile. I love collecting big sole authorship damascus knives, especially from Mastersmiths. Always looking for something new and am looking forward to making some new friends. I am a big time salt water fisherman so if you get down this way look me up!!

Josh,

I appreciate the invitation and will see if my schedule allows me to go. I looked at your album, you have some very nice pieces. I have updated mine so feel free to look. I have sold many of them within (Like this John Horrigan) the last 2 months as I have incoming and pending orders through Blade 2011. I will enjoy becoming more involved with you all.

Thanks, Jon

Welcome to the pack Jon. A very impressive line-up you have/had there. I really like the Horrigan bowie. I really like John's work, and he's a heck of a nice guy to talk to over the phone as well.

 

[jklein7401]

I appreciate the nice words and will continue to post knives past and present. Murph I could not agree more, John is both an excellent knife maker and individual. I purchased this knife directly from him at Blade a couple of years ago and look forward to visiting with him in June.

Here are a few more, though I only had the larger Bradshaw intergral in the first photo.
