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.
The first knife
in this Series is pictured here. The blade is 6 x 1 ¾
x ¼ inch Damascus Steel in a Leopard Pattern. The guard
and pommel are Random Pattern Damascus off set with brass and
black spacers. The handle material is stabilized spalted burl
wood selected to contrast with the Damascus steel.
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.
