TKS Hand-Ground Blades

[redsquid2]

I just noticed today while browsing Texas Knifemakers' Web site: They have a line of blades called "Hand-Ground Blades" and they bear a striking resemblance to the blades of ebay seller swordman39. I have bought two or three blades from swordman39 in the past, and I thought they were a pretty good value, and one of them in O1 was exceptional.

The name of swordman39's ebay store is Two Finger Knife LLC. If you compare these blades on TKS with the ones on Two Finger Knife, you will see identical patterns, and even the way swordman39 engraves the steel type on the tang. Example: he engraves "95" on his 1095 blades.

Maybe Swordman is buying TKS blades?

Maybe Swordman is buying TKS blades?

I think it's the other way around. TKS buying from Swordman.

I am gonna agree with Bill on this one. I have seen many buy premade blades, finish them and sell as all handmade.

Swordman was also selling a 250lb little giant on ebay and other hammers were visible in the pics. I would put my money on TKS buying blades from him.
