Classic designs with a modern flair, superb execution /fit & finish, high performance and value.

 

[Jos]

There's only one quality I look at in a custom. Do I like it or not?

OK, OK, there's of course the second one: can I afford it or not. But that's not as important as the above.
Kind regards,

Jos

 

[Jon Brand]

A knife that feels good when you clench your hand around the handle.

[T.K.C.]

Does it appeal to my; do I like the materials? Is it a good price? Do I LOVE it or just like it. If I don't love it, I don't buy it. I do look at the maker.

Good ergonomics, blade geometry and materials appropriate to the intended use, and appearance.

 

[Keith Montgomery]

I look at elements of the design, construction quality, and is it in my price range.
