Thanks for posting friend..

We have to define "other makers" for me to answer your question.

If we are talking about a World Class Maker like Ernest Emerson, then that would be like comparing Elvis to Jerry Lee Lewis..

If we are talking about a New Maker then it might be more like comparing Emeril to the guy working at Subway..

One thing I know is whether its Emeril or Bobby Flay or the grill master at McDonalds its all about heart..

There is a reason I have been referred to as the Muhammad Ali of knifemaking..

Most knifemakers I know put everything they can into their work and I have to respect that even if I dont respect their finished product.

I came in the game with everything.. Its all about respect for me.. I try to respect everyone, especially those within our community..

Thanks..

Mike's a master at his craft. His cutlery is zen.

That's a great answer right there, and I think also another part of is answer is his response time to you imo.

how do you feel about Benchmade making your designs under the HK brand and producing them in China?

Thanks.
