I don't know off the top of my head what his knives run, but I know that Les usually has them on his website and you can also see them on the Canadian Knifemakers Guild website. BTW, both are good site for drooling over pictures of great knives.

Hi Bobby,

Brian knives are $450.00 for the Tighe-Tac I &II. The Tighe-Tac III (2 5/8" blade) are $400. I also have one other on my site. Saturday (if things go well, Brian's first Tactical Auto will be on the site as well).

The Canadian Guild site www.ckg.org is also a good place to see Brian's knives.

I think Brian is one of the most overlooked makers in the tactical arena today. I bought his knives because I had seen the quality on his $1,000.00 + knives.

Excellent work.

I agree . Brian makes a great knife . His line exceed other makers for style and the knives are heat treated properly. Great person also...

Yes, Brian makes very nice knives. I saw one at S&R Knives in Toronto, near where he lives. It was $450 CDN. Very nice, smooth action. The level of finish compared favorably with a Custom Terzuola and a custom Elishiwitz they had in the store. I deeply regret not picking it up before moving faaarrr away.

If you liked Brian's work, take a look at Greg Lightfoot's knives. He has a page the Canadian Knifemakers Guild site. He's a super nice guy. Top quality workmanship. Impressively smooth, solid opening and locking folders. They look realy strong too.

The Lightfoots look a bit more purposeful. The Tighe Tac looks almost "dressy". Both feel good in the hand. My wife could see a place for knives from both in her wardrobe. I guess I had better start saving for christmas now.
