a visit to rick;s shop will enlighten customers as to why he does'nt answer many calls & e-mails since he is a part time maker alone while he's working. if not for his amazing lack of waste in his movements & almost no mistakes; his production would be a lot less. a true handmade knife that starts with bars of steel & sheets of liner material, slabs of handle material & small long rods of material to make the pins plus cutting of shields is no small achivement. i wish everyone could watch his grinding of the metal bars to the knife profile . believe me his handheld blade being finally profiled plus the very slim tapered tang is marvelous.--cranky72
I truly believe that is a God given talent.
