I have rather large hands,(2XL), and requested that Mike add an extra inch to overall dimension of knives so that they lay well in my hand. We used slightly thicker stock material (5/32 vs 1/8) and Mike suggested a tapered tang to reduce felt weight and to improve the balance/overall appearance of the knives. They balance quite well at the finger groove and feel great in hand.

Each knife also included a very nice handcrafted thick leather belt sheath tooled and sewn by Mike himself.

Mike is a pleasure to deal with paying close attention to detail, listens well to the customer's request and then makes suggestions to give the customer a better overall product that they will be happy with. He offers an excellent value in a knife, is easy to get a hold of and his turn around times are not that bad at all.

Those considering a custom knife should give Mike a holler!

I know these two blades won't be my last from him and look forward to putting them to good use this coming fall during hunting season.

Thank you for the fine blades Mike!


Bill
