I was looking through a thread here, and it lead me to somebody's site, and that had a link to another site which had a Jimmy Fikes fighter style blade for sale. But I didn't write down the site at the time, and now I can't rediscover where it was. If anyone knows of a site that sells custom knives and has a Fikes on it, I'd appreciate directions. Thanks.

Arizona Custom Knives had a Fikes camp knife/fighter. It sold in a matter of minutes.
Jimmy Fikes is a on again/off again kinda maker. Right now he is off. He is not making any knives for sale at all. I ordered a knife from him, which he made and i paid for in full. He had sent me photos and went into detail describing the knife to me etc...
He recieved my money then decided he didnt want to sell knives. He refunded my money in full, for that im thankfull. BUT the point im getting at is if you see one you like buy it, if you deal with him or Mrs. Boatner (thats who handles ALL of his transactions on the knives), dont get your hopes up until the knife is at your door. I was really looking forward to the knife he made for me, it looked very nice and i was extremely let down when he decided not to sell it "because his head wasnt right".
This is not to slander Mr. Fikes, Mrs. Boatner or his work, it is simply fact.
