America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

Far as I know, you have to contact Alex by email to order a knife. He has a website (adknives dot com) and had an Instagram & Youtube page. I don't know his page names/sites though... have to google those.
He likely still has a membership here as well. (if memory serves his handle is Alex_Dron)

I picked up this Steel Will dagger and got inspired to do a little more artistic set of scales (African blackwood on micarta liners). The hollows are hand carved, which took a few hours. The shape is asymmetrical, kind of a spiral shape I dreamed up...
For a rightie, the thumb rests in one hollow, and the bottom 3 fingers rest in the opposite hollow, no matter which side is lying in your palm. The idea was to have a symmetry that matches the hand's relaxed grip.

Here's a set of forged / laminated kitchen knives I ordered from Murray Carter many years ago when he was still working and making knives in Japan:

I’m pleased with this little forged hawk from BF maker Daado. 13.5” OAL. Crazy good value for what he charges.
Copy that! I have not used the tomahawk yet but I keep one of his fixed blades in my hunting pack and purchased another one as a gift for a buddy. Definitely a great value for the money!

Two from Ben Tendick (L6 cord wrapped, Cpm3v warncliff). Finger knife is J.J. Todd in AEBL.
Another Kwaiken in CPM3v
A drop point hunter by Phillip Patton in AEBL
Is another piece I carry with some frequency.
And a few traditionals are usually in the pockets when I go out.
GEC, Queen, S&M, Case, Opinel.
For bigger stuff, I have two HI khukri that see use and carry when camping.
