[Lowachi]

Very nice indeed! Very striking model wearing it too. A nice pairing.

I love the look of that hood. That and the Kahn hood style are my favs!

Thanks Mario,, I really like this hood, still needs some minor tweeks still but love the fit and the look of the hood..

Thanks I think the bird "ADDS" to the look of the hood. One day I hope to fly one.

Just finished this Keiger (throat slash is optional, Thanks Ray), one for a falconer in France.

Sure like those colors Ken and am I noticing some extra detail to the sharp cut edges of the leather top knot. Like a burnished edge or rolled over edge to soften the cut of those points. If so, I like that detail.

I also like to look of the side panel shape. Different for sure.

A good look to me !

Wish I could say there is a real secret but am afraid an Optical Illusion, I do cut them at a sharp angle though but that is all. I too like that eye panels, just a different look from a more traditional Dutch yet a Dutch all the way.

Hi Ken,
I like that hood a lot. Nice color combo, shape and beak opening! Very well done.

Thank you Bob, was in Sask a week ago cannot believe the water compared to here, it is so dry here, we need rain..

[sakerjack]

Here is the Keiger ( with throat slash) on my friend's new gyrkin.

[Cautney reich]

Nice bird...

[sakerjack]

Just finished this 6 Color Keiger for a Tiercel Gyr/Per.

Woah...there is a LOT of detail there. Looks great!

[Lowachi]

Nice!!!!! I really like that style.

[Keith Denman]

Oh man Ken another beautiful work of art.

Thank you Bryan, that hood took way longer than I thought, there is alot of detail in the hood that doesn't show in the photos I put up. I MUST/ GOING to get a new camera..

Ken, this last example almost looks like a deluxe version of the earlier examples of your Keiger hood. In the words of Emeril, you kicked it up a notch or two! To my layman's eyes, it looks significantly more complex.

Yes very similar added a some more tooling and color.

Thanks,, me too..

Thanks KD how is the hood making going?

[Keith Denman]

Hi Ken:

Have you recieved that hood yet? I have to find the time and money to travel either to Dallas or Houston to find me some more leather. I am starting to make some hoop traps right now to start selling for trapping season. I been thinking about the acordian back and thinking how I could fit it onto my frier tuck hood and make it work. I will be working on drawing it out and seeing what it will be like. Of course you know me I do love the open back.

[sakerjack]

Just finished this Keiger. FINALLY got a new camers and am learning how to use it, but I think it shows the hood far better than before.

[Lowachi]

SWEET!!!!

[COMEAUX]

Very SWEET!

[Keith Denman]

That is so sweet Ken. I showed it to my Mom and Dad and they just couldnt believe how awesome it was.

[canvibe]

Very nice, I like your color choices.

[sakerjack]

Very nice, I like your color choices.

Thank you CV..

Just finished this Lizard Keiger, I had not made one in awhile. It should look good with the matching Black Ostrich/ Monitor Lizard Hood Saver.

[Tony James]

That's some very clever work indeed Ken, and as you say, how striking it will be with a matching hood holster.

Belated Happy New Year my friend,

best wishes,

Tony.

And to you Tony, all the best in 2013. As I mentioned I had not made one in awhile and a friend of mine uses the Keiger Dutch and really likes it so thought I would bring it back, put it on my web site and start selling them again. The Holster will look really nice with it.

[sakerjack]

Very Nice Ken.
A sharp looking hood

Thank you Ian,

It has been awhile since I have posted photos of hoods.I am now taking orders and have had the web site open for about a month. Here are some Dutch hoods with and without the the throat slash and a custom Dutch for me..

[christopher.vly]

That purple/yellow/orange is absolutely stunning. I love it, man!

[Betelgeuse]

Wonderful. I love the brown and black hood...and the blue and tan...and the purple/orange. What size is the brown/black? Edit, what size is the Blue/tan too?
