Does anyone have any information on these knives? They are dubbed hard use knives, but I can't seem to find any reviews on them. http://www.graymanknives.com/index.html
They are selling .25" thick knives made out of 1095 for rather high prices (considering the materials). The knives come with uneven grinds, discolorations, poor F&F. The excuse "It's supposed to be used, who cares how it looks" is terrible. How would Busse owners feel if their knives came with a lopsided grind and uneven handles?
Well designed, hard use knives. Not show pieces, and they are not made to be. Will last a couple lifetimes if takes care of. I believe they are made from 1095 steel (easy to sharpen and tough). I don't own one but have handled one. I wouldn't mind getting one some day.
I don't mind at all that they are users with discolorations, etc. Every knife I buy is meant to be a user. How do they rate compared to busse's or fehrman's? I know both those knife companies have better fit and finish, but that's not what I'm concerned with.
Great company to deal with. Top knotch product. You get a custom, handmade knife for under $300. The knives are well thought out, well made tool made for use not a safe. Mine works. I feel that I got more than my money worth. If I wanted a show piece I would gave bought something else.
Ranger knives use a better steel, better fit and finish, are handmade, and 100% US made. Did I mention they cost half as much? Seems like a no-brainer to me.
