Here is an unboxing from our very own Logan Stout

I watched the entire video. The knife looks solid and sounds solid both on opening and closing and appears to be well finished. It should appeal to those interested in modern-traditional construction.

Not meant to be critical, but I can understand the marked up cost what with the knife in a cloth, in a tube, in a box, in a box with a logo sticker, a leather slip, and a chip.

Good luck to you and your company.

Thank you Ed.
 
Jack Wolf Knives Jack Wolf Knives I like the looks a lot.

Any chance you will do a run of anything without half-stops? I have sworn off buying more knives with half-stops, just ruins the experience of a smooth pivot on a slipjoint for me. If it has a stiff spring and a half-stop, I have an outright strong dislike for that style of action. Swearing off half-stops has made it really easy to not buy more slipjoints though as it seems like everyone has them. It was one thing I loved about queen knives.

I don't think I'm in the majority there, but it is something I look for on a spec sheet these days.

Thank you for the feedback and kind words! This is something I can consider in the future if I get enough requests. My bias is, I really like half stops. But I am always open to suggestions and honestly this is the first time someone has asked for it. I am not opposed to it. Seems like half stops really are en vogue, but if enough people want it, it’s easy enough to designed it in.
 
I like what I see! The total package is really cool. The Gunstock is just not for me. I may snag another model though! Congrats Ben!
 
Looks very promising so far, looks like good quality and I like the idea of an integral handle and bolster, if I understand correctly.
 
I like the designs- simple, straightforward and close to what traditional knife lovers are familiar with. I think starting out with a gunstock pattern and a clip point is a good choice. SMKW’s Rough Ryder Reserve suffers, IMHO, because they got too creative and irreverently changed some tried and true designs seemingly just to be different and mashup some popular features.

I see a lot that I like, but nothing yet that I love. I hope things take off for you initially, because I think you’ll eventually produce something I will really enjoy. I don’t even know what that is, yet, but I’m gonna let you do the hard work on that 😉.

Thank you! You are correct, the liners and bolsters on each side are one integral piece of titanium.

Other than the gunstock design, I have to say that nothing about this product says "Traditional" to me. From the packaging, to the design choices made, this whole project seems really geared towards getting Instagram likes. Sorry, but that's just my personal take on this.

I'll stick with GEC and Lionsteel/Viper offerings. Best of luck with your endeavor.
