Just received My new Elite from Chief.Number 899, stonewash blade.... and chamois to keep it clean (a freebie) MT was slow to ship the Elites, but John kept in touch, viva e-mails,great communation! I had orgionally ordered beadblast, but when I saw a email picture of the stonewashed blade, I wrote John,and said how much I liked the stonewashed Elite.John mailed Me back "I'm packing Your Elite stonewash right now". I sure thought alot about that!
With out a doubt this has been My best experance ordering knives ever. John does care,and his service shows. A big Thank you , John! Let's do it again! Bill
