I've lost count of how many trades I've done with Darrell but he is just an awesome fellow. I got a customized (by Darrell) Ontario TAK-1 in D2 tool steel. He removed the handles and milled a criss/cross pattern with a 1/16" ball endmill on a bridgeport for a cooler look and better grip. He also had the entire knife hardcoated with an Aluminum Titanium Nitride coating, it has a charcoal look and in the right light gives off a slight reddish hue. This is the second knife I've traded with him that he has customized. So apart from being a excellent person to trade with, he is also IMO very talented and generous with his creative and practical modifications. Darrell is also a very good natured and cool dude all around.
