I'm scratching my head. I know I am not always the sharpest knife in the drawer, but golly, now did a simple post about using an expensive folder morph into a screed against 'campfire knife smiths?

I know, that was not your intent, nor was I wanting to contribute.
Just thought to check out that little, cheap BRK on your recommendation and enjoy it.
If talking about a servicable, industrial grade item and liking it, is allready seen as an invert statement against highgrade items and their manufacturers, than this place has taken a turn down - lower than the OPTICS FORUM.
I refuse to believe that.

All this attention to knives and over-advertising by a member, and I find I have a few, but consider them more of a tool than art. I have a few Kauffman knives which are actually hand made and not blanks with customized handles. He heat treats, then freezes them, using the best steel available. I asked him to modify one of his designs by adding a larger finger groove and extended hilt. Dave made it that way for me and it works great. I asked one of the advertisers here about the same option with some insane wood, but was met with little enthusiasm and also find him incapable of a modification due to blanks that are purchased then finished with wood and sharpened. Anyhow, I won't buy or need any knives from the campfire as Dave has made the few that I need, just the way I like them... Good looking knife, there. Anybody seen Mr. Menefee or is he still traveling the highroad?

Thank you BTW, for introducing me the Mike E Miller and his knives. Any time. I think that post by shrapnel was un cool insinuating of another maker using pre cut blanks. I think shrapnel should get a knife grinder & try to make a knife himself. I bet he couldn't make one out of a pop sickle stick. Also,putting that post in this thread,makes no sense to me
