His traditional slip joint folders are to die for...

To get any one of his knives right now is a 4 year wait (it was 5 but he finally closed his book and is getting caught up). You do pay dearly for his level of craftsmanship and sadly because of the level he is at most of his blades now end up in collections rather than service but you can certainly do some severe service with his blades and they will stand up against anything. Most guys get a little nervous taking $2000/+ knives into the field though If you do happen to take one out into the field nothing puts a bigger smile on his face!

These are just a couple I quickly found on FB to show examples...

Really nice!
