A PICTURE HISTORY OF CRAWFORD KNIVES

PAGE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

The following pages are pictures of knives I have made over the years. I didn't take pictures of all the knives I made and some of the most unusual and one of a kind are lost, unless some of you have the knives and will send me a picture. I do have a lot of pictures and will put them up as time permits. We are not taking orders on any of these old models.

1976 - What ever happen to this guy.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal Sunday Magazine.

This was a Guild Show in about 1978

THE FIRST CRAWFORD KNIFE - I'VE STILL HAVE IT.

The first hand made knife I made, sometime in 1972. I don't know how I managed to hang onto this one. It was made from a 3/8" piece of 440c steel that was give to me. The tang is the 3/8' thickness, and  the blade is 1/8'" tapered to the point. The handle is rose wood put together with brass screws and rounded down nuts. The blade is mirror polished.

Knives from 1975

My table at a show about 25 years ago.

This picture was used in one of my first catalogs.

I think this is the second folder I made. It has Crawford #1 1975 written on the blade with a hand held engraver. The bolsters and liners are nickel silver and the pins are stainless steel, the handle material is coco bola wood. The bolster is engraved.
