He's a couple hours from me, so instead of mailing my knife, I went to pick it up.
Mr David is first class. When I came in he said pull up a chair and make yourself at home. He gave me the tour of his shop and answered all my questions. We sat for about 2 hrs and talked. It's one thing to see knives on the internet. But another to hold the patterns in hand.
Folders aren't my thing. And the 'fire is known for fixed blades. Mr David showed me some of his folders. They are works of art. Much too nice for a daily user.
He also showed me his handmade Damascus. Very nice.
He showed me the for sale drawer. I came away with a new model skinner. #91. When the rain stops I'll put a pic up.

Looks handy! I like it...

Dave,
I'm near certain I could let you spec a knife for me and I'd love it.
And that one is certainly no exception!

Never met David, but I have talked to him several times on the phone. First class, all the way.

No fricken idea how I missed this thread, but glad I finally found it. Great looking knife Dave! Mr. Winston is my favorite maker, totally jealous you were able to tour his shop.

That model 91 sure is a nice one!! Congrats, really a nice design and liking all the colors on that one. Do you know about how long Mr Winston is taking these days once you order?? Might need one like that!
