what do you guys think of my website?

Pro's
Layout of the site
Castle Picture
Names of the blades are certainly interesting

Cons:
Knife selling/buying over the internet has a correlation to real estate instead of location, location, location its Pictures, Pictures, Pictures
Create a gallery so that visitors and potential customers can get a better overall feel for quality, variety, style of your blades
The gear thing can go
Use a slightly larger and bolder font for your descriptions of the knives, its a little lighter than I prefer on such a stark white background making it a little uneasy on the eyes
As noted earlier, i concur with Alfazulu regarding grammar issues (not that I care at all about it on a forum, chatting, personal email, informal stuff, but on a bussines site it can make people have those doubts)
Under the about or custom order page I would list/name your preferred and or available materials

Overall well constructed..Can't wait till my "crap-terpiece" knives are as good a quality as yours
Also you get bonus points for speaking Gaelic
Keep up the good work.
 
Would like to see more pictures of you making the folder. Did you use a template or come up with the design your self?
 
I started reading your bio and just got sucked in by it. :) Nothing crazy wonderful about it, it was just interesting. Nice site.
 
folders are what I prefer to make,I just love it,but its impossible to pay the bills making them! that's a Tony Bose coffin jack design but without the secondary blade,Tony was kind enough to send me a plan view of all the parts, its some pain in the behind silver soldering them bolsters,I can make better finished knives than this but not for the money this knife is bringing realistically. ill upload a few more in progress shots as I go
 


this part is the most difficult,figuring out where to drill the pivot holes and setting how the blade sits whilst keeping the spring flush in all positions.



a few others i made
 
some time ago I made this knife for a friend who works on ships, unfortunately he recently informed me that its now at the bottom of the Irish sea:( but I found a few pictures of it today to cheer myself up!
 
Nice website. Nice knives.

I'd like to see shop photos. That is a stunning photo of that stone building. If that's your shop, I'd LOVE to see what your work space looks like... machinery, forge, anvil, hand tools, work in progress, etc. More photos in general, as has been mentioned.

Ill see what I can do sir,ive sent out a lot of my work without ever taking a picture of it which is a shame really, that building you speak of is Athenry castle,my shop is a far cry from being that elegant, I started out making things in our auto garage and forging things in and old stove and a broken anvil! I made my first folder in the kitchen of my house:) I have a 40 foot container and a regular car garage and a room in my house purposed for knife making. hopefully one day ill be resident knife maker in the castle:)
 
I've made a few alterations to the website again,mostly pictures, I know there's more to do but I hope this addresses a few of the issues so far anyway,thanks for your time.
