For a long time I've thought about having a knife made for me...a functional EDC knife that had all of the things I liked
in a knife and none of the things I don't. I finally started doodling a while ago, eventually committed to a design that worked for
me, and then sat on it.
I met a knifemaker in Ontario (Craig Wheatley) that I had a lot in common with, and eventually started talking about perhaps making the knife I'd drawn up.
One thing led to another, and the knife was underway. I took delivery on it this past week, and I have to say...what a tank!
Everything about it is purpose driven; it's small ( 2 in blade, 1 1/4 in deep) at 5 in. overall, but chunky and solid. I've been carrying it ever since, and I think my EDC rotation has shrunk considerably. It does everything I need to do on a day-to-day basis, no compromises, and I am VERY happy with the way it turned out.
