Shipley Knives.

Unless I bought one off of you from Ebay, it wasn't me.....

But I do own a Shipley Tanto. Big, too thick, too wide, too heavy, poorly wrapped with some nasty cotton(?) cord, and rusty.

Worst $70.00 I ever spent.

Other than that, I like it ok.

I think I am going to introduce it to the belt sander and see if I can improve it.
 
Hi Marion, You may be thinking of me - or at least I ended up with three of his knives that I purchased here on the forums. Black phosphate coated, skeletal handle (no slabs or wrap). They are some of my favorite knives. Perfectly ground. I inquired about Shipley here on the forum not to long ago. I was trying to find his website. Was told he's out of the knifemaking business.

ag,

Yeah, I think you have them.

One is a drop point, the other a clip point bowie.

Did you take the rubber handles off?

I just got the third of three that I had bought, from my brother, and I am pretty pleased with it.

Glad to hear they are treating you good.
