ODKW fanboys

[mitchnola]

Been wondering if there are any other Old Dominion Knife Works fanboys around these parts or if I’m the only one?!? I’ve become quite the fan this past year.

Casy and Chris are extremely fun and helpful in building a knife exactly the way you want it. They are small batch custom makers doing it all by hand! No cnc here at all. Knowing the amount of hardwork that goes into each piece really makes them special. And I’ve not met or dealt with another maker that is so clearly doing it for the love of the game. Their pricing clearly proves it. And their designs are uniquely their own.

So any other fanboys out there? Post pics to prove it!

Here’s a few I’ve acquired this past yr.

Casey was pretty active here early on.. sold a lot of folders here.

I had one custom he made, but sold it a couple years back.

I enjoyed watching him improve over the years.

Really, I didn’t know he used to be active around here. His designs impress me the most. And the milling they do on the scales are exceptional!

Chris has also become a hell of a maker as well.

Very nice! I’m a sucker for Butcher/cleaver style folders. And those finishes are next level as well.

Wow, that is from back in the day. Is that the early version of what became the Hermit?

Same here, but I gotta add that his designs go from cleaver style to very pointy. It’s impossible to get bored with these guys. Always coming out with something different and unique!

Very unique Mitch! Those scales are definitely cool . I probably wouldn’t be alone in wanting to seeing the lock bar sides!

Thanks man!! I’ll have to take some more pics cause I never take lock sides. But here’s one since I currently have it on me. Im a big fan of his clip. Don’t feel it at all in the hand.

Thanks bro! It’s a fun one. Action is incredible, can flick or slow roll it open anywhere with that deep fuller.
