I first heard of Dale when I started hanging around this forum a while ago. By that time I had already ordered my first ESEE knife, the 5 from another company with lackluster service and prices. My next order was from Dale and I couldn't believe I got free shipping, the savings in the cost of his products, his first class service, and the lightning fast shipping. After that order I never ordered from any other place, so he got the entire ESEE line up out of me plus several extras in certain items, just minus my first one. I'd never fo anywhere else, he's made a customer for life out of me by having the values that all companies should have, and used to have, but is almost non existent in this day and age. One of the few other companies that has the same values is ESEE and they've made a customer for life out of me also by standing behind the products they make. Keep up all the great work Dale, your the man!!!
