I wanted to post about our member blacksmoke08, aka Tyler. When I first saw him post one of his Bowie knives on our ms gun owners forum I knew I was in love. I contacted him about a trio and he fulfilled my wishes beyond the ideas in my head. These are he first custom knives I own that were ordered specifically for me by me and I couldn't be happier. The steel is W2 and it has been heat treated with a Hamon. I'm working on my photo box to showcase just how awesome the Hamon really is when you see it in person. I already half a half dozen or more other projects I've stuck in his ear. The stocks are a desert ironwood and are really beautiful.

So thanks a lot Tyler for turning me into a knife snob. I gave good money for these but after holding them I honestly don't understand how he turned a profit. And if that wasn't good enough he delivered over a month ahead of schedule. I requested them without leather as I make my own and he even sent them in nice zippered cases which was a nice added expense.

I'm really surprised that I hadn't gotten more comments on his work, none the less I'm ecstatic with 'em. If anyone would like to contact Tyler his email is tylermay1 at hotmail dot com

A few better pictures as promised earlier. Man I love fiddling with these things, if they weren't so sharp I would sleep with one under my pillow :)

Nice knives, give it time for more comments not every one visits the forum all day every day.
