Firsthand Experience with Russel Sutton Knives?

[dogman]

I am looking at acquiring a Sutton interframe from another individual. I have never seen one in person. Has anyone gotten their hands on one and is it worth the effort? Here is a link to his site: http://www.kmg.org/rsutton/index.html

The knife will be similar to one of the first two on the page. My only concern is if the price/trade value of the deal I am working ($625 is Sutton's price and what my contemporary paid for each) is worth it when thinking about name value (Lake, Embretson, Herman, etc.). Thanks for your input.

dogman,
Russ Sutton is a really nice guy that makes some very nice knives.
He might not have as big a name as others but his work stands up in my book.
