Nappier Knife Works of Austin?

[thepsychogoalie]

Hello,

Does anyone know anything about this company and the quality of their knives? I've seen some nice looking knives for sale on ebay but I have no idea if they're any good.

Thanks in advance

They better not sponsor Don Imus.

I'm curious myself. Saw a good looking hunting knife going cheap with 1 minute left on ebay last night. Almost put in a bid just to see what it looked like...but chickened out.
LOOKS like a quality knife....but must be a newbie due to the relatively low bids.
Any experienced comments out there??????

Just my two cents, but the two current blades Nappier Knife Works has up for auction look like pre-made blades from Texas Knifemakers. Nothing wrong with using a kit or pre-made blade when you're up front about it, but I'm starting to see a lot of people trying to pass these kits off as hand made - that's just wrong.

There is even one guy who has a high quality website set up who lists his pre-made blades and folding kit knife knives as hand made and ground by himself. At one time he had a 15 dollar entry level folding kit knife (from knifekits.com) priced at $150.00 bucks. The knife came with pre-cut laminated scales and takes all of five minutes to assemble. (btw, I guess he caught enough flack about the folding kit knives he was selling that he has removed them from his site)

Here's the site if anyone is interested. http://www.sunrisecustomknives.com/knivescategories.html
