BEAUTFIUL SET!! A large set just sold on feebay but it had some copper plated as well..It was not as large as yours, but stunning as well. Trying to get info on Shaw Leibowitz past custom/production runs is not easy from my experience.. I own 3 SL custom knives.. I have look for info about SL from Hibbens, and a few other season people in the community, but its hard info to find.. KNIFE WORLD in 2001 wrote a GREAT article on the history of Shaw and Leibowitz- about 5pages long..I have a copy if you need me to scan and email it i could.. Unfortunatly if wont help you find info about your set..

here are a few of mine

Dax,

Never saw the Mermaid/Merman Knife before, looks pretty nice-unique.

Thanks, the set was broken up and sold off part and then I liked the 6 figuring that maybe I will be lucky and pick-up some stragglers. I will search for the article, thanks for the reference.

I also have the Lewis & Clark Randall plated and the Black & White.

Glad you found them,.. Congrats!! Love the CASE SUNFISH

That is an amazing collection Tom - really beautiful knives!

Thanks Peter,

Picked-up the last 2 knives I was missing in the silver plated finish so I can make my display out of Maple & Walnut. Will post pic's when done. Still looking for the gold plated Boston Tea Party & Shot Heard Round the World. A work in process.

Tom Flynn

Looking forward to seeing the display!

Knowing you woodworking skills Tom, it will be world class. Congrats on filling out the collection.

Thanks Mitchell!

Will take +/- a month; post pic's when done.

Tom Flynn

Work in process-The Shaw Leibowitz Bicentennial Knives Display is nearing completion. The Maple block was shaped to the Lower 48 and then cut in all 10 of the knives individually. A lot of sanding & fitting!!!!

I added the picture of the wall placque that I had seen done in green felt on plywood by unknown, that was what got me started on this. Looks a little better in Maple & Walnut!

Mounted the Maple block onto a Walnut back panel and clear coated. Completed the Walnut frame and have ordered the glass. Only things left to do is to fit the glass stops and top-coat the Walnut frame. Place the knives and hang the display.

This was a lot of work but I think it will showcase this collection well. Will follow-up with pic's when done.

Tom Flynn

That is a stunning display Tom. That board looks like laser cut precision. Wish I had the time and patience to tackle a job like that. Oh and the knives, outrageous!

Thanks Warren!

I wish I had a LASER!!; all done with a Jig Saw and hand tools!

Tom Flynn

One other thing I'm not seeing is joint lines. Is that veneer Tom.

Warren,

Maple is a 1" thick edge-laminated block of solid plain sawn Maple; like a wide board butcher block. Solid, so that when I cut each knife it was solid all the way through the cut edge without showing a ply edge or MDF edge if it were veneer.

The Walnut back panel is veneer however, the edges will never be seen.

Tom Flynn

Well that explains it then, just amazing.

WOW Tom, this looks really REALLY bad @$$, you are doing an amazing job with your project!

Thanks guys; a lot of cutting and fitting went into this one. Made a bunch of sawdust.

Tom Flynn

Outstanding work once again Tom!

Wow Tom - that's really impressive! Well done!

Thanks guys; just waiting on the glass! Place the knives with care and hang it!

Tom Flynn

Done & Hung! Real happy with the result.

Tom Flynn

THAT is really amazing Tom. Well worth the time and effort you put into it... AWESOME!!!!!!

Tom,
That looks GREAT!

Tony

Tom,

It was nice to follow the progress but the finished project is off the charts; great theme and superb workmanship.

Thanks Guys!

Ran out of wall space!

Tom Flynn

Wow!
Be sure and show us the progress as you build an addition to your house for more wall space - maybe some built-in's?

All are absolutely beautiful, Tom.

Haha! That's funny, although I think I have exceeded my Man Cave space and need to start trading/selling Nah!!!

Tom Flynn

Tom,

You know what Chief is thinking? Just start collecting all those small knives and leave the big ones for him. They take up less space
