It has been eight months since our last newsletter! I am really sorry to have allowed so much time to slip past. Busy life with busy kids and busy business - yes, we all have excuses, right?!
I hope you enjoy getting caught up on All Things Broadwell...

Hawaii Knife Show
We are, as I type, in Kauai following last weekend's knife show on Oahu. David and I are thoroughly enjoying a little R&R! The knife show was a nice time of catching up with old friends and doing what we love, selling knives! Click the picture above to see pictures of the show. This feature subhilt with koa handle was made specifically for the show. You will also see included in these show pictures, Nita getting to see the one knife from the photo archives she most wanted to see in person. It's owner surprised us both by coming to the show and bringing his knife. We have taken a few "vacation pictures" of the two available folders from the show, and they are on this link as well.

Local Rehab Auction
The North Texas Rehab, for many years, has raised funds to help people receive the rehabilitative health care that they need. I have donated a knife every year for their live auction. In the picture above you will see this years contribution. The blade is stainless steel, the guard is also stainless and the handle is fossil walrus ivory and clero walnut. The sheath is cowhide and is crafted by NB Designs. That is, of course, Nita Broadwell!

The Gathering: Art Deco Ruled
Labor Day weekend 2014: The USN show in Las Vegas was exceptionally good for us. David won best fixed blade and best non knife accessory awards at this show. The fixed blade was the Art Deco subhilt fighter shown above. His pen, "Iced Deco" (shown below) won the non knife category. This show has become one of the best custom knife shows around and certainly a favorite for the Broadwells. Click the pictures for a work in progress of the knife and close ups of the fountain pen.

Custom Pen Projects
The above picture shows a custom ordered roller ball pen. The cap and other components are made from a modern celluloid. The barrel is a celluloid dating back to the early 1930's. The trim components are titanium. Broadwell also made the presentation box from zebra wood. This pen was an engagement gift to a man in France.

Available
It is a good thing to have very little in inventory. I am very busy filling orders. We estimate that I am approximately 4 years backordered. But my books are still open as of right now. This cross pendant is available as well as two pens, no knives. Click the link above to view.
