Elishewitz-Eickhorn

[Dan Amos]

This week I was in Smoky Mtn.Knives, & I happened to notice an odd, clear plastic box in the showcase with the Benchmade's, Emerson's etc.
Lo & behold, it has the name Elishewitz on it.
They had, maybe 4 models. They appeared to be production runs of Elishewitz designs.

Has anyone else heard of these? I subscribe to Blade & Tactical, & unless I REALLY overlooked the article, I have read/heard nothing about these knives.

Anybody in the know?

The knives are very nice. And reasonably priced.
I ended up buying one with a carbon fiber overlay in both scales.

Thanks for any info.
