Has anyone bought any of his knives? Just curious...I just bought a Whisper after I read Van Cook's review in TK. It looks like an awesome piece...definetly for nothing other than fighting!
 
I've got 4 of his fixed blades and one of the folders. Great users. Even more so, when you consider their price. However, I think I like them better before they went to the flat grind. They were easier to sharpen.

I love em, greatr users, I have a dangler and one bird of prey folder, see my sig:D
 
I have the Falcon folder (the older style--not the new flat grind). It's a virtual bulldog of a folder. Not exactly a quick opener, but built to be able to take a vicious beating and laugh it off.
 
I have a few of the older ones listed under My Stuff (see link below). These were made back when John was making a handful of each model and constantly moving on to new designs.

Yeah I've totally thrashed a couple.., and in the "Price vs. Toughness" category they are not easy to beat! Can't go wrong if you want to do hard use stuff...

I don't know that I'd say they're hard to sharpen. It just seemed that I could get the older ones sharper than I can the flat ground ones, at least with the sharpmaker. I think it has to do with a change in the angle of the grind. Also, they've changed the shape of the scales. They're a bit thinner/flatter than they were before. They're still great knives, though. I'd buy another.

I can't wait for my Whisper...I wish they still had the black blade one...but I still like what I got though!
