I make knives to the best of my ability, in terms of performance, aesthetics, and value. If you feel my knife that you've bought to be lacking in workmanship or serviceability, please return it for your money back in full. Or, visit my website for a look at my Lifetime Warranty and for my contact info.

I am not taking orders at this moment, except for under select circumstances and for some kitchen knives. Feel free to contact me to talk about it if you wish.

Thanks for looking,

Hey there, I'm very sorry about the late reply! I've been so busy I forgot to check this posting. It's still available. I'm glad you like my work! I can think if several guys in my class more likely to be the "Bill Moran of this generation," but that' sa very generous compliment.
I'll try to get ahold of you here in a minute.
