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,

If I had to be killed by a blade, I'd prefer it was something like that.

Nice one... That's a no brainer at that price.

I wouldn't want to be killed by it because I would spend my last frantically cleaning it so the finish wouldn't ruin.

Great knife . I like the blade shape a lot.

Thanks guys! You know Ian, I think a knifemaker is one of the most unfortunate things to be if one were to get stabbed- with a cheap knife, you'd feel insulted, and with a nice knife you'd be worrying about the finish! Never thought about that before.
