Please do not paypal until Scott or I confirm that the knife is yours. As always, these knives are for sale locally as well. If you agree to purchase this knife, you have 24 hours to paypal us, or 7 days to get us a money order. If payment is not received in that time frame, the knife will be relisted.

Thanks!
Lamont

While Lamont was at the Marlboro show last Sunday, I was home making sheaths for these last remaining Companions, and finishing up a custom Companion for a soldier who served in Iraq. Sadly, he lost four friends over there. He had us engrave "NEVER FORGET" on one side, and their initials on the other. What an honor. That's my favorite Companion so far.

Like Lamont said, this is it for the original Companion. We have four brand new models already started. Hope these last few Companions find some great new homes. Christmas is a comin!

Thanks,
Scott
 
These are .125 thick D2.

JGKELLY, #7 is yours. PM sent.

To answer a few questions we received regarding these Companions, Lamont and I decided that these are going as is. There are no options being offered on these such as additional laser engraving, leather vs kydex sheath, etc. We just want to sell these last few so we can move on to our new models. If you buy one of these but want a different sheath, please contact one of us for a custom order. These grips are obviously laser engravable. Anyone in your area who offers that service should be able to take care of that option for you at a reasonable price, should you desire.
Thanks!
Scott

I just wanted to add some feedback about the performance qualities of this knife. While I was at the knifeshow in Mass last weekend, I had 2 customers that bought one of these Companions earlier this year come to my table and tell me how well they cut and hold an edge. They were both very impressed with the knife and were looking forward to the new models we'll be introducing later on. Oh, one also commented that the thumb ramp was in the perfect location for him, and it gave the grip a natural feel.
 
Just wanted to second that these are great knives. I purchased a Companion earlier this year and gave it to my nephew who is serving in Iraq. Heard from him Thanksgiving Day and the first thing he said is how much he loves that knife and that I wouldn't believe how often he uses it!

Great knife by good folks.

I picked up one of these early on and have been very pleased with it. I had the sheath done for horizontal and it fits well on a pack. When not on a pack it's in my Jeep as the go to knife tool. Cuts great and has stayed sharp.

Look forward to seeing what's next.

Hey guys........
I have been sick for a couple of days and haven't really been paying attention to these. Figured I'd kick them up again.
Just a quick note....We were originally getting $200.00 each but to liquidate our remaining inventory, we put the price down to $150.00. Scott and I would like to see these go before we start the new Companion model.
Thanks to everyone for the great feedback on these btw! Its much apreciated.
 
Hey just wanted to say that I love the companion.If anyone is having second thoughts on pulling the trigger on this one, just do it! Its now one of my favorite edcs. The fit and finish are excellent as well as the ergonomics. It fits perfectly in my hand. Lamont and Scott my hats off to you both!!
