Mink. What dou think of TKs knives?
Sorry for the late reply, but I love his blades. Soldered and pinned guards with clean joints just complete a knife to me. His grinds are second to none. The one I have pictured is just about a perfect field knife. I have had bowies of his that ranged from fast fighters to heavy camp varieties as well....quality is always top-notch. I have a smaller Woods Bowie from him in convexed 3V that is just an outstanding EDC.
I have nothing negative to say about his work, or him as a person. Just a good dude to deal with, as I have found all knife-makers to be that I have dealt with.....and there have been a few....some here even.
