Recently, I asked Stephan Fowler to make me a knife. Right off, the experience was pleasant, the wait was short and the service absolutely first-rate. The knife was gorgeous and the workmanship excellent. The best thing I can say is that I don't understand how he can sell his knifes for what he asks. On top of extremely good prices, he offers a very generous discount to military, LE and Fire-fighters, which I chose not to take advantage of because the price was already more than fair on my side of the deal. I won't get to review the knife because I failed to pay attention to the specs or ask enough questions and the handle was not suited (sized) to me/my uses. I have already recommended Stephan privately to a number of people and figured I might as well stroll over here and let everyone know. Now, I don't get all "ga-ga" over just any "new" knife. If I don't like something, I don't like it. I like Stephan and love his service and his work.:thumbup::thumbup:
