Here are a couple that I made with Gil Hibben at his shop in Tennessee. I took a class from him a few years ago.

Wow... those are totally cool and it must have been awesome to get to take a class with him.
 
Many years ago I was into collecting movie knives like that... it was fun and those knives were huge.

Here is a pic of my Colin Cox survival knife set. I purchased my first Randall knife but it has not yet arrived. I am opening the Pandora's box known as collecting Randall knives. I have been told it is almost as bad as collecting HKs. Yes I hate money. I am in the process of designing a custom sign to be made and then three custom display cases. I reverse engineer all of my collections now. I visualize the entire thing in my minds eye. Do hours upon hours of research... make exacting drawings of almost every single item down to where and how it will be displayed. Then and only then do I start to actual purchase the items. This honed and refined process has taken me years to master but now yields usually amazing results. It will probably take 4-5 years but hopefully by then the project will have the initial stage complete.

Thanks. That is her desk and candle sticks. Its a reproduction made in 1876 of a desk made in 1776. So we were told. I know nothing about furniture.
 
This is one of my knives. 1994? Timberline Specwar. I'm not a knife-guy, but thought this was sexy.

In 1993 Timberline Knives collaborated with custom knifemaker Ernest Emerson (his first collaboration with a knife manufacturer) to create their version of his SPECWAR model. This knife features a one-side chisel-ground tanto blade almost 1/4 inch thick. Its handle was made from fiberglass-reinforced nylon molded around a near-full tang. Vaughn Neeley of Timberline designed the sheath. The knife was originally a custom piece designed for Naval Special Warfare Group One, and this factory version was soon entered in the trials for the Navy SEALs knife in 1995. Although it was not chosen by the Navy, the Emerson-Neeley SPECWAR knife won Blade Magazine's 1995 American Made Knife of the Year Award at the magazine's Blade Show in Atlanta, Georgia, that same year and was displayed as an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York City from May 24 to August 15, 1995.
