Will these be offered in different handle materials, and blade steels? I've been itching to pull the trigger on one of your hand-made knives, but just don't have the scratch. Let us know where, and when.

The knives are made in China. Hand-tuned means I inspect and sharpen each one, install the ruby in 14K gold, and make and hand-stitch the sheath.

No options on blade steel or handle material are currently planned.

Thanks for the comments, folks!
 
I liked this deal so much I ordered one myself:

i just got mine yesterday from don, all i can say is beautiful blade, for the price this ruby factory is superb....i will be carrying this one every day now.....
 
With proper supervision, products coming out of China can be good. I have an EDC Buck (folder) made in China which is just fine.

Good for the price. A handmade knife is a different thing. Each has its purposes.
