What Do You Think Of My Newest Addition?
on: February 20, 2010, 03:41:54 AM
Okay guys, I have purchased my very first custom knife to my specs and I have to say that I am more than pleased. :D  These are pictures of my new Runt from Andy at Fiddleback Forge.  I got Jade G10 scales with black micarta liners.  It is also coming with a sheath.  He says that is looks very cool when the light shines through the scales. :tu:  The picks are his and I will receive it on Monday. :drool:  So what do you think?

I can attest that Andy is an absolute pleasure to deal with.  He took time out of his day to talk to me and make sure that I was getting exactly what I wanted and followed up with me throughout the knife making process.  He is truly a class act. :salute:

On another note, I have Michael Morris making a new custom folder for me that he and I are creating from scratch.  I feel confident that this will be something special that he will bring into his line up.  I can't wait to show you guys that one when it is done.  Again, another incredible person to deal with. :salute:

customs are the way to go when you want a one-of-a-kind piece of excellence.

if I could only afford them lol but I know they can be really reasonable and they ARE on my list!

Raylaconico is also one maker I want to talk too!

Guys, I just got my knife and wow! :o  My review of the knife can be be described in my email below that I sent Andy.

"Andy:
My runt just came in and I can't say enough great things about it! It is incredible! Weight, size, scales, sheath, everything is perfect! There are only a handful of times in my life that I have been able to say that I received much more than what I paid for. I can say that this is one of those times. Maybe a stupid question on my part, but I guess I forgot to ask when I ordered it, what is the steel? Also, previously in threads you mentioned that you might do a kitchen paring knife, but I never saw anything on it. Given the absolute perfection that you have achieved on this runt, I would gladly pay you whatever you would charge to do a paring knife for me. Choose whatever you want for scales or do it in Jade G10 as I am sure that it will look just as nice as it does on the runt. Just let me no the cost and time and all is good! Again, many thanks and much appreciation!"

Again, I can't say enough good things about Andy or his knives.  take care.
