Seems like most knives from guild members are so finely crafted and are almost show pieces. What are the style of knives int the first couple pictures? The long skinny straight blade, I've never seen them before. JYD #136 My mother told me if didn't have anything nice to say then don't say anything but that never stopped me before.

The long skinny straight blade, I've never seen them before. Very true, many are finely crafted as most makers show their artwork capabilities at the show. Here and there would you find the worker knives, but they are usually sold out very quickly, but one can just email them and ask if they are willing to make something for you. The first knives are bird and trout knives to my knowledge.
