Of course I also happen to make a damn good knife... :) so I guess that helps!

I'm glad you mentioned that, because I was going to. :D ... the one I have is a fixed blade, though, a beautiful skeleton handled Thorn in an IWB leather sheath.

Very few people ever know that I'm carrying it. :cool:

REALLY! I didn't know that. Cool. Do we know each ther from my old days at the West Side Rifle and Pistol Club in Manhatten?

In any case, thank you for your support and should the knife ever require regrinding and sharpening, etc there is no charge for that.

all the best!!
 
If either or both of yous had to wear a respirator :eek: while down range at 20 W. 20th, then it' s a good chance both of you were there!

I started wearing a mask the last year or so I was there (1989-90) after my Dr. checked me for lead and said I would soon be able to fart .38 specials if I didnt! :D
 
Kevin, we never met, but when I came across the knife for sale on the forums here, I really liked the style. I gave it a slightly narrower edge when i sharpened it, but it didn't need much work. I like it because most skeleton handles are a compromise between concealability and comfort, but this fits my hand perfectly, no rough edges at all. And I like the Latin :D

Glad you like it! That must be an older knife as I no longer use that mark but I continue to make the basic knife. These knives are still popular!
 
Well guys, what can I say about this thread. I just got back from the NY show ( Not one of the best) and popped in to read the forums. I'm grateful for all of the comliments and the good words, I'm also grateful for the criticisms as these help me to refine the work.
For those who have had problems with my knives, I can only say that I would have liked to have heard about those problems personally rather than read about them here. That way I would have had the chance to fix or adjust what was wrong.
As noted in some of the posts, I do stand by my work and do not charge for repairs or adjustments. If something is wrong, let me know about it.
As for anything new, my model 3B is only about a year old, the model 7 is already out there (See True North or KnifeArt) and I expect to introduce my Ball-Grip (slip joint) at the March show in NY.
Thanks again for all the nice thoughts. BOB
 
Thank you for the update Bob. IMHO, you don't need to change what doesn't need to be fixed. The design is perfect for me and my applications.
 
Thanks DBH for the kind words. I find it curious that the same type of thread appeared on both major forum at about the same time. I thought I had put to rest the false idea that I don't make my own knives. I guess some ideas die hard, even the stupid and false ones.
Larry B. seems to have a problem with my knives but I don't recall ever hearing from him about adjusting them. If he has four of mine that don't work, how come he still has seven of them?
I have always adjusted or repaired my work for free when the fault is in the materials or workmanship. The times that I charge for work is when a knife has been abused or modified by the owner. I can't control what is done to a knife once it leaves my shop.
I've endured this kind of trash for some time now but I think the comment that really got my hackles up was some dude on the other forum saying that I refused to autograph my book for him. I have never ,ever refused such an honor. When asked to autograph the book by anyone, I am humbled and honored, even when the request comes from a twelve year old boy at the busy Blade show.
But, no matter what, I guess you can't please everyone no matter how hard you try.
Best to all , BOB
 
I waiting with anticipation that you would step in and set the record straight.
