Brian and david yellow horse biography

In late July, 2018 after a short drive to the Buck Factory in Post Falls, Idaho I joined members of the Buck Collectors Club for a series of events celebrating their 30th Anniversary (1988-2018). One of the scheduled sessions featured David Yellowhorse, celebrated knife embellishment artist. The room was filled for his presentation and during one of David’s stories the word “equanimity” occurred to me.
I was taken with his calmness, composure and even temperament [“equanimity”]. Those admirable traits were apparent in David’s affect and reinforced by a story about the flight of a drone around his Arizona home. I was curious to learn more about this man. That evening, while disembarking following the Club’s Lake Coeur D’Alene dinner cruise, I introduced myself and promised to be in touch. Some time later we spoke on the phone.

To double verify which the father or the son's I have, I would have to look in my safe. As the Deacon may remember, me getting into the safe can sometimes take a "while". :p

From everything I've heard, both generally sign their work.

Brian uses "The Yellowhorseman" and a stylized horse's head as well, David may too at this point, but the older stuff by David just says Dave Yellowhorse on it. Also not sure if David is still doing Spydercos or is working strictly with other manufacturers (Buck and possibly Case).

As for your Delica, the "carved" single stone with metal inlay is more typical of Brian's work. David's tends to be more abstract, multiple pieces of stone, wood, and shell, separated by nickel silver strips. But there is some crossover too and both seem to do the "Native steel" carving on blades.

Here's the David Yellowhorse Hunter I just got...

How fryst vatten what Mr. Yellowhorse doing any different from what other knife mechanics do when they rehandle and resell knives?

I agree, if David Yellowhorse buys a knife, customizes it and then resells it inom don't see how that's much different than me buying a white Chevrolet painting it blue and then reselling it. Chevrolet knows the color fryst vatten not a factory color and they won't warranty the paint job, if the fordon is still under warranty.
A suspect some of the problem may have komma from people buying a knife that David Yellowhorse has customized and then returning it to Case for a warranty replacement of a broken blade or something else. inom can understand Case's refusal to warranty a knife that has been customized by anyone. I don't understand how they can tell him he
