    Hi, I was just looking at the comments left for Matt(staff) about the increase in space up to 3gb and saw your comment. I love knife making and metallurgy in general. Saw a show on Japanese sword makers, I think it was on the History channel. One thing (of many) that amazed me was the process that was used to make the billet. The sand was from a special place and it took 2 days? to “cook” it and if it did not look right they started over, WOW! I always thought that those top swords were great because of the folding, I had no idea how much time and effort went into the creation! Well, I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you those folders look very nice! Can’t wait till I read all your old posts. My blog here is mostly empty but I have a few things on MySpace. Take Care and I will let you hear from me after I read some more of you blog. Joseph Wernier, Cape Cod, MA, USA http://www.myspace.com/CapeCodWaterRabbit

    The greatest knives I have ever seen. Arow 3 is my favorite.
    Your style is so clean and strong and functionality in my opinion!!! Just do NOT like an expensive folders with gold, purple and pearl ingraving details or some mammoth bones which increase abnormaly prices for “collectors”. Anso is also great but I dislike that scales with “American signiture”. Vuk from Serbia

    You do not put logo on knives. Just noticed.. It is AWESOME too. So sick of snakes, insects, sculls and other SCARY marks across whole blade!!!

    Vuk, I guess we both have the same idea about the finish of a folder.I try to keep my knives simple but effective.Everything is possible but I prefer a clean look.My logo will only appear on the inside of the knife.A logo is very personal and it might be ugly on blade, especially in a folding knife.

    Hi,
    I’m from a completely different field to yours(I’m a fashion designer by profession) but I’ve always been fascinated by knives. So i studied Mechanical technology in school which included Mechanical drawing and Metal work. But upto now I’ve never had a chance to make a knife coz of the lack of tools mainly.
    PROTOTYPE EXPLORER- is an extremely sleek design and looks a very proffesional tool. It reminds me of the CKRT-Urban shark, but way more ahead in style. Matt finish of the blade is amazing.
    PRYTOOLS-Excellent. Very unique. I have a bit of a concern with regards to the strength of the blade near where the bottle opener is, even though the thickness of the blade says otherwise. I would really like to know the scale of this toy.
    MEDIUM-Superb blade design. I’m a big fan of tanto blades(Specially EMERSON Knives-Classic CQC-6 is a masterpiece I think) and I’m really interested in the way you’ve blended curved lines to the classic chisel shaped Tanto blade to make this knife look really classic. I like the chisel shape but not the one sided tapering factor about it. And when it somes to the grip of this design, even though I’m not a fan of having the grip to the shape of the fingers I think this one is amazingly done.

    Overall, I think this is one of the best collections of knives I’ve found on the Web.
    Could you be kind enough to send me a mail as I’d like to give you some of the designs that I’ve done myself for you to work on if you think they are up to your standard.

    Hey, real nice work on the Explorer. Very clean lines. Have you thought about doing a friction folder? Something like this, maybe?

    Your work is fantastic, very nice designs, and it looks like the fit and finish on your knives is top notch. I also like your choice of materials and the lack of a logo, it keeps the knives looking very clean.

    I posted the wrong link, sorry. Here’s the link I meant to post:

    The last one I posted has a few obvious issues, this one is a bit more accurate.

    Beautiful knives!! Your ‘about’ section sounds almost identical to the one I would write or myself, and your knives look like finely finished versions of the sketches in my note-pad (almost). Thanks for sharing your hobby, and especially for providing your excellent tutorials. I feel very inspired! Cheers mate.

    Your knifes are really beatiful!
    Really well made they shine!!

    Cheers,
    Stefano
