Christmas list knife

J. Shorter · Dec 22, 2003

A friend of mine told me last week that "a knife from Jerry Shorter" was on his son Jacob's cristmas list, ( Jacob is 12 and is looking forward to going deer hunting next year). so this last weekend I came up with this little hunter.

I love the lines and usefulness of the handle/guard. Congrats to ALL.

Nice classic lines!

Thank you my friends, Wouldn't it be neat if Jacob kept it until he has a son and passed it on. ahh, the stuff dreams are made of. Making that knife for that young man made my christmas a much better one.
I hope you all have a good christmas also.

I sure hope he does! Maybe you should buy him a Taiwan beater to accompany it, because I know I'd be reluctant to use something like that!

I'm sure he'll love it. If he doesn't, though, e-mail me

Like the brass guard with the handle; nice smooth and simple. good looking knife.

Needle, "I'd be reluctant to use something like that!" Ya, you know not one of my customers has as of yet used one of my knives. When I ask them "how did it work" I get "Oh,I left it back at camp" or " my friend wanted to use his knife" or "it's just to pretty". What can a fella do?

charge them an extra $25. tell them that when they call you back and tell you how it worked under actual use they can have the $25 deposit back
