Hey guys
I just stumbled upon Sacha Thiel's "The Officer" and i love the knife. After seeing it i am considering skipping the stages of buying cheaper knifes and heading right to a quality knife. The only problem is i cant find much information on this knife. Does anyone have any experience with this knife and the maker. Any information is much appreciated.

Thanks

I have yet to find a review or any experience with the knife other than those that are in french. I understand that it is easy to find basic dimensions.
 
I think what knifehunt was insinuating is that you contact the knifemaker directly. If you want to get into the world of customs, you can either buy them off the secondary market, or make some effort to get in touch with the maker.
 
I'm seriously considering one of these as a 40th bday present to myself.
 
To mirror what I said about this knife (the Officer) on another forum (I've now had the knife about a week):

....This is a remarkable knife. Even though I've had it for a day, it's quickly become one of my top 2 favorites ever, and that's including customs that cost 2-3 times as much. It blends pretty much everything I like in an EDC together. Lightweight, substantial blade thickness yet still able to slice like a dream (I've been test cutting cardboard non-stop since I got it), blade steel that seems/sounds like it'll hold an edge pretty well, smooth as glass opening and closing, and a size/profile that's not too small, and not too big. It's not "overbuilt", its built just right. I kinda think of it as if I took all the qualities I love of a Sebenza, XM18, SnG, and the TAD production Dauntless and put them together in one knife...this Sacha Thiel would be the result. Within 24 hours I can always find something about a new knife that I don't like, but I can't find one thing about this one that isn't perfect (for me personally). I will DEFINITELY be looking to pick up another one of these after the new year.

I just got an email from Mr. Thiel that my Officer is shipping from France tomorrow. I am quite excited as its my second mid-tech and quite a beauty.
 
I recieved a ppt from Sacha Thiel about a year ago. Its a great knife made by a talented knife maker and Im sure this model will just as good as his previous models. Buy with confidence :thumbup:

A limited run with Chad Nichols Mokume Bolsters would be nice. As long as I get one :-)
