Show Pride In Our BF Makers!

What a great thread! I think this is one of those full things that goes full circle for me. One of my first customs was a GL Drew $65 three finger that I still have. Over the years I have found my appreciation for the makers on this fine forum has only grown. I am sure my collection will continue to grow but I absolutely love these makers and enjoy using thier blades the most. I am an old dog though, I remember when Bill Buxton still posted stuff up in the knife maker forum. So did J Nielson and Ed Caffrey. Those were the days, I just didn’t have a clue.

GL Drew, Bill Siegle, Phillip Patton, & Carothers(Nathan the mad steel scientist)

I will hopefully find time to put by new Danitz to work this summer but I expect him to join the above pedigree. He is exceptionally talented.

If I had an unlimited knife fund I am sure I would already own a Navman, Hellize, Daado, a few axes/hatchets from Cardman, David Mary, JJ Smith, Josh Fisher, Gollik, Tony Mont and many many more like them. Just have to win the lotto now…..
 
That peasant doesn't own that knife.
