I have yet to get the funds for one of his tantos. That's the kind of stuff I want to do when I finally get into bladesmithing!

I also have been on the hunt for the elusive "perfect knife" for my hiking / camping. The one that has fit the bill the best so far is one by forumite Gene Ingram. (sic)

His site is here:

Simple, effective designs, good quality materials, fair price, and the fit and finish is flawless.
