Professional what?

Just sptiballin, but having trained in and practicedvarts that included knife fighting, and tested things on hanging meat (but oddly enough, not chickens on a rope 😂), I definitely don't want a snagtastic sawback on any kind of fighting knife.

I couldn’t decide if this guy was legit or not. The entire site reads like a lucid dream and yet it does appear that he makes a ton of knives and sells them for thousands of dollars.

Edit: After some searching, it seems I’m not the first forum member to wonder what is going on but that he is a legit maker.

Edit2: Definitely legit. That website is not helping.

This scrawled writing on the back of a note pad paper may not look like much but it this dates back to late 2018 before I joined the forum. I am in the process of packing up to move and I found this in my desk under all the knife related content I keep there.
My old janky Smith and Wesson folder had finally given up the ghost. I used that knife for everything. Anyways it broke and I was in need of a new knife. I went internet sleuthing for weeks to find the “right knife.”
I didn’t know what that even meant. But eventually I came across the Carothers Field Knife and it spoke to me. It was beautiful. This was the one.
Long story short I joined the forum, bought a FK1, and now have a knife buying obsession, or something.

Advanced Knife Machining WIP, Pointy Fighter

This will be a somewhat technical WIP covering machining techniques that I frequently use in my shop, as applied to knifemaking. As more advanced machine tools become more common in many of our shops I believe that some these techniques might become more prevalent in other makers shops. I plan...

If you want affirmation for your choice, read or re-read the WIP for the shiv. The passion, attention to detail, and expertise that is clear will make you want everything CPK, and especially a shiv. I just read it for the second time yesterday, as linked in the CPK encyclopedia.
