Real good guy. I bought my first custom from Larry after seeing the pics in BF http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=163357
He answered all my questions via email, the money transfer problem was worked out quickly between us and the knife arrived in a timely fashion (5 days by UPS Express to Thailand is good). He answered all emails almost as soon as I sent them out (13 hour time difference) so he must stay up till the wee hours of the morning. This is one maker who is more concerned about you getting your knife than I was. He likened himself to "An old women" in that respect, but his "can do" attitude was greatly appreciated. Well what would you expect from and ex-Marine anyway, only the best, and thats what I got. Please note that while all this was going on, he was trying to prepare for the Austin show, and in fact sent me an email at zero dark thirty just before leaving his house. When I let him know about how customs has a nasty habit of opening all packages, and if they are knives, they play with them (they really edge tested my Snody Karma Kozuka and Bushido) so he wrapped it up like a chinese puzzle, layers, within layers, and apparently customs just gave up on it and the knife arrived unmolested. After 20+ knives shipped to me in Thailand, this was the first that didnt have finger prints or dulled edges.
I plan on ordering more custom knives, and a scorpion from Larry as soon as I figure out how I want it. I hope all my customs work out as well. By the way, the knife is is so beautiful, I am still trying to get used to it.
Thanks Larry

Taking those pictures must have taken a bit of time. BTW mitch, do you use the SE as a daily carry?
