Has anyone ordered any knife kits or handle materials, etc, from there? I was thinking about ordering some G-10 to re-handle some things and then I saw some of their better folder kits and thought about picking one up as well.
 
I've bought quite a few kits from there over the years. The cheaper kits result in a so-so knife , and of course the more expensive kits result in a higher quality knife. :)

I'm working on a DDR3-BL kit right now. Seems like high quality, but I seem to be putting in a lot of time on getting the fit and finish as perfect as possible. Someone more skilled than me could probably do that a lot quicker, but I'm learning quite a bit along the way.

I would recommend making your own scales though, depending on what material you are using. For the cost of their wood scales for the knife, you could probably make two sets out of some nice wood. The scales I bought from them were fine, but overpriced for what they are I think. All they are is flat on the liner side, drilled, and rough cut to the shape of the knife.

The answer to your question is yes. ;)

But what exactly do you want to know about them?

I ordered from them twice, they deliver what they say they wil, they do it fast and accurate. The materials I bought were everything I expected. I was satisfied with their service, and would/will order again.

I would only advise that you use extreme caution when attempting to rescale a knife. Working with G10/Carbon Fiber, etc. you need to be in a well ventilated area, preferably an area where people do not congregate. You NEED to own a respirator (with appropriate filters) and have some decent eye protection too. A Dremel tool with LOTS of attackments/accessories doesn't hurt either.

The small particles that are removed from most handle materials are so fine, it stays in the air. If enough of it gets in your lungs, you are pretty much done.
 
I bought some imitation stag scales and some bolts from them last Monday night, got them Thursday morning. I'll be ordering from them again.

I've bought quite a lot of materials and hardware from them, but no kits. Every order has gone very smoothly. They ship what the website says is in stock, the quality has been good, they send emails with tracking numbers - nothing but good experiences with them.
