I remember Blues mentioning Ray Kirk a few months ago. He seemed to be impressed with Ray Kirks knives. I went to a show intending to speak with Ray, but was not able to find his table. Fast forward to a few days ago and I see the review by maddog2020, which renewed my interest. I finally called Ray, and made an appointment to see his knives. He makes very nice knives. Ray himself seems like a very easy going kind of guy. He was a real pleasure to visit with. Anyways, I ended up with a 'lil blue' neck knife
Made from 52100, and sharp as a razor, I believe this will soon be my most used and carried knife. All around the handle and blade spine is nicely rounded for comfort. The handle is just long enough to wrap all my fingers around, and is very secure. The sheath is kydex and meant for neck carry. A nice surprise, is that instead of the typical para-cord, you get a nice, soft elk hide cord. And instead of having to tie and un-tie a knot to make the cord the right length to carry the knife how you want it, Ray uses brass beads. You simply put it over your head, and slide the bead up and down to desired length. It holds very secure. I cant wait to actually put this knife to work, it should be a pleasure to use. Thanks Blues and maddog2020 for steering me towards Raker Knives.

Notice the knife is resting on its certificate. When you get one of Rays knives, it has a letter that tells of its materials, and design. Your name is put on it, and the date you purchased it. It is then signed by Ray. Its a nice touch.
