KNIFE IS SOLD! Thanks everyone for your interest. I will be posting more...
Hello BF,
My name is John Landi, I have been hanging around in the background for a year now. I have been learning, reading, practicing...and having a great time with my new "obsession." I picked up a Coote in June of 2007 and enough 1095 from admiral to make around 30 knives. Well I have sold 7 in the past three weeks, signed up as a knifemaker, and I am hoping to sell a few on BF.
This is the second knife that I had made. It's brother was sold to a forumite, he was kind enough to do a mini review in the Wilderness and Survival section of BF, please take a look:
