Frank, you are making some really great knives. This is a fine looking blade and you finished the cherry perfectly. It didn't look nearly as good when I sent it to you! :)

Frank, you've made another good looking working knife. I like the blade contour and your etching. I used to sell Yellowheart/Mora and I liked it a lot, very hard and durable and finishes nicely.

This knife really impresses me for tactical/self defense. If I was heading to one of the ongoing wars I'd bring one. Great handle design for secure grip and control.

Harry, that is one heck of a first knife, a real beauty. To show my appreciation to your son for supporting our troops I would like to send him some figured scales for future knives. I'm a Vietnam vet and I start scholarships for local boys killed in the current wars. PM me with your address...

Hello to all KnifeDogs, my name is Kevin Henry and I started making basic cutters last year. I make hidden tang knives only using mainly antler from Elk, Moose, Deer and Reindeer. I get this antler in trade for figured wood that I sell to gamecall makers and knifemakers. I also make handles...
