I know that quite a few of us have already written about how great Rob is, and about the awesome quality of his knives. Well, now it is my turn.
I got my Talonite Cetan in the mail this afternoon, and no one has ever been happier to see that red/white/blue USPS package arrive.
For those of you who have never handled one of Rob's Cetans you really owe it to yourselves to do so. It is the most perfectly balanced knife I have ever had the pleasure of holding in my hand. "Exquisite" is not too much of a stretch when describing how the knife fits and feels in one's hand. It is just the right shape and size to perfectly fill its intended purpose... field dressing and caping/skinning game. I can also see this knife being an awesome everday carry for those who want a fixed blade... light, well balanced, smallish, razor sharp!
The sheath is also quite a piece of work. Mine is in carbon fiber concealex, and it fits the knife like a glove. Excellent workmanship.
Even better than the physical product is Rob himself. When I ordered this knife by email a year back, Rob called me within 30 minutes of my placing the order to ask some questions about some of the features and its intended purpose. He made some suggestions that I am very happy to say I followed. We've traded email back and forth in the last 12 months about the progress of my knife. Rob has certainly proven himself to be not only a top notch knifemaker, but also a gentleman!
Long winded, for which I apologize, but I can't remember when I was ever this jazzed up over a single knife!
