What are you doing in here?

I ordered a Hikers backup a loooong time back after mtnfolkmike pointed me in his direction. John wasnt really a "regular" of BF yet. Ive since owned several of his blades, designed one, and even shot one . I have really enjoyed seeing his business grow, and his blades evolve.

Heres to you John!

Here on Bladeforums (the only forum I visit), I call the W&SS subforum home. Every time some one asks for a fixed blade rec, you can be sure to find JK knives on the first page of the thread. And of course, you can't help but notice Pitdog's love for his JK knives.... But as others have pointed out, I see JK owners like Pit and others actually using their knives; that instills confidence .

I'll admit to never really being grabbed by any of the JK blades I've seen until recently (save the AK knife)... then John's heavy duty Hunter / Camp Knife came along and I knew it would be my first JK. I think it's a departure from John's normal designs, but I love that it still has JK Handmade Knives written all over every line and detail. :thumbup:

Can't wait to have my own first hand experience!

Why am I here? Because this jackass over in the W&SS section keeps posting how much he loves this edc and since I'm looking to make an EDC that will double as a woods knife, here I am.

I don't own any of John's blades yet. I love the fact that he makes so many knives designed by his customers. This seems like an extention of WS&S to me but with the topics that would normally get moderated out of WS&S.

Great knife.

I got another THR poster to email John about one too. Hope he orders one.:thumbup:

I think I'm going to order in the near future but I'm going to go with my own design this time. I have a scandi drawn on there but noticed that Stomper doesn't do them but I'm fine with convexed. What do you think?

I don't know if ya already have a scandi but they cut great, the downside is that they chip very easily, a nice convex with no secondary bevel will cut almost as good and is a stronger edge !!!:thumbup:
