I had the pleasure of meeting a fella named Jack Chick today. He has a little sharpening shop on SR415 near Daytona. I had been meaning to stop in their for years & I'm glad I finally did!

Mr. Chick hand makes knives in addition to sharpening them. He has a great selection of good, extremely sharp thin carbon steel blades - I had to pick me one up while I was there - it has ~5" upswept skinning blade, a handcarved wood handle (I think he said birch - not certain) and a small brass handguard / brass pommel :thumbup: :thumbup:

The knife will be a great hunting knife. To top it iff it came with a snakeskin leather sheath. For all of $50!!!

Mr. Chick says he was a Navy Corpsman. Of the WWII variety making him what, 80yrs old give or take?!?! He was workiing in the shop when I pulled up. What a great guy!

I strongly urge anyone in the Daytona are to stop by & see Mr. Chick sometime. He's on SR 415 just south of Hwy 92. You won't be sorry you did :)
 
I have one of his knives. It was a gift and I searched his name on google as he etches his name on the blade and writes his name and year made on the sheath. I figured it was made by old timer and you confirmed it. Also found a nice picture of him in front of his wall of knives on flicker.
