High rpm and sharp belts is the trick.

There’s magic in those hands.
lots of scars. Anybody can make knives. A man just has to stay at it.

Couldn’t agree more. For us neighbours to the north of you folks, we have to pay a real premium, 35% more once the exchange and PayPal fees are factored in. We pay a sht load more taxes than all you folks in our Socialist Wonderland to begin with. Makes these knives bloody expensive.

Guess what?

My new Crotts lasted in my home for a month before I sold it, to place an order with Rick. I’ve fallen deep down this rabbit hole, and while there are many wonderful makers, to these 55 year old eyeballs, the level of finish on Rick’s fixed blades simply sets him apart.

If there is someone better, I’d love to know.
I do my best. Thank you
