Still under construction with new pics coming. Looking forward to putting together some good, short reviews of different knives for the outdoors. When finished it'll be a direct .com link. Anyone that has some good pics and want me to post them please let me know. Also if you want to do a specific review, or one you've done that you'd like to share, please send it to me. thanks

still building it so give it time

Good. I'm trying to help a local knife maker find his market before he retires from his day job. He isn't quite the artist Andy is, he's still struggling with the artistic side of it all at times, but he does really solid old school work with stag, stacked leather, and wooden hidden tang handles with brass and stainless guards, hilts, bolsters, and pommels etc, as well as working with slab handle scales like the pine cone stuff etc. After doing knife tests and evaluations here on the forums, in Tactical Knives and Knives Illustrated Magazine, and on a few websites like Woodsmonkey for most of the last 15 years, I'm almost burned out on doing knife reviews just for the sake of doing them other than new FF models. Ten years into it, I still love playing with whatever Andy comes up with and I'm playing with a fillet knife now. The exception is when I run across someone doing something completely different than Andy's style, doing it very well, and yet being old enough that they are sort of stuck in the past here in the Tennessee hills, all but computer / device illiterate, unknowledgeable of the internet and global marketing pathways, needing help finding their market place that is already out there, and their work and ethics being deserving of someone stepping in and helping them find their way. He is a full time machinist who is anal about his fit and finish, uses awesome handle materials, but works almost exclusively with D2 and 52100 right now. I love his work, I just haven't field tested one yet. I'm about to take the time to do one though, with an edc sized model with stainless bolsters. Because a mutual friend of our's, his one purveyor, is selling his knives at like $200 - $250 here at local shows that would easily sell for more than double that at Blade if his work was only vetted and he was more known.
