I contacted Kevin the other day regarding a knife he had in stock. I asked him to compare this knife to another maker's that he does not carry. Not only was he very helpful, Kevin had nothing to say but good things about both products. I have purchased one knife from Kevin. Despite this, Kevin always has time to talk to me on the phone or in emails. Because of his honestly regarding good products, (not just his own) and always finding time for a customer, I feel that I will be a long time customer from him and recomend him highly.
