Now that I have held your knives in my own hands, I can say this without hesitation...


RAISE YOUR PRICES!!!

This knife is worth twice what you're asking. Easily. I passed countless knives on countless tables at Blade this year, selling for far more, that didn't show a fifth of your attention to detail.

...maybe I'm just pissed off that I'm too broke to buy it, despite how little you're charging. Knifemaker = Poverty

Sweet knife, John. Someone's obviously going to steal it from you. Wish it were me.

I agree with Mathew, This kind of work should bring much more money. Only a matter of time though.

[Eric Bosworth]

Totally agreed with Matthew. I suggest you to use stainless next time you doing this kind of blade too since it wouldn't be very easy to maintain the beautiful mirror polish on 1084 steel. Anyway great knife!
