After 30 plus
years of making knives I have 13 different models in my current
catalog. And each year I make the same models over and over
again. They are all easily recognized as "Bill Luckett
Designs" without even seeing the Logo. These are the knives
that I am known for, Large Sub-hilt fighters and Bowies.
But I am always
trying to come up with new designs, something different but
still holding true to the Bill Luckett Style of Knife. So late
in 2007 I decided to start the "1 of 1 Series".

Each year I will make one or two knives that are not standard
models as shown in my catalog. I want to do "Something
Different, a One of a Kind". I try to expand my design
and building capabilities and just see what I can come up with.
I usually like to spend some time at the drawing table designing/drawing
a full size picture of the knife. But sometimes an idea will
hit me and I just make a quick sketch on anything available
and then clean it up later when I have more time.
So "The One of One Series" comes into being. Each
knife will be a "One of a Kind" and will be marked
on the blade "1 of 1". No two knives will be the same
nor will it be something that you can place an order for. Each
will be completed as to my design, I pick the handle material,
blade steel, etc. Truly a "Luckett Custom Design".
If you purchase one of these knives, you will have the only
one in the world like it.
If you are interested in having something special, a One of
Kind piece, you can contact
me and see what is next for this series.
The 2008
One of One is here
The first One of One for 2008 is a 'Bowie Style' knife with
Leopard Pattern Damascus Steel blade, 10 x 1 3/4 x 1/4 inches.
The Guard and Butt-Cap are both random pattern damascus off
set with Black, Brass and Stainless Steel spacers. The handle
is stabilized 'Mammoth Ivory' all shaped with multiple contours
and deep hollow grinds. This knife is already sold, so I guess
I will have to make something new for a second 2008 One of One.
