Hey Folks,
I just wanted to take a quick minute and introduce myself. My name is Jonathan and I am the maker behind Jaeco Knives. I've been thinking about selling my knives on Blade Forums for quite some time and today I am finally pulling the trigger. I've been watching the forums for a while and there are some amazing knives being offered by some very talented makers.
I have a background as a conventional and cnc machinist and I decided to learn and start making knives in December 2014. It's been a quick learning curve and I owe that thanks to a lot of wonderful knife makers who have taught me a lot and have become my good friends.
I am primarily using 154cm stainless steel for my knives. For handle materials, my favorite is G10 followed by micarta and some stabilized wood. I like to contrast the handle materials with colored G10 liners to give it a nice look. I also like the acid/stonewashed look so expect to see a lot of that offered by me. I do all of my own kydex sheaths and they have a perfect fit with great retention. For clips I'm using Spyderco G-Clips.
Typically I am able to make 1-2 knives a week (I'm primarily a stay at home dad) and I hope to be able to offer those for sale here. Recently, my knives were picked up by a dealer, USA Made Blade. I'm really excited about that new chapter. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you and making some new friends as well!
