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.
Remember in 'Man on Fire' when Christopher Walken said "A man can be an artist... in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasey's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece."
Well Rick is that damn good at his craft of making knives...!
