Tim Olt(michiganroadkill here on the Campfire) makes excellent knives...at a very reasonable price in my opinion.
Tim did this one for me last Winter. I’m more than happy with it! S35VN stainless, Sambar stag handle, full-grain leather sheath. Just a rugged and beautifully executed knife. Blade is scary sharp! Very much like a Randall made knife, but without the wait. Also, much better steel(in my opinion) and at 1/4 to 1/3 the price of a Randall.
Thank you all again for the recommendations. I have a few great candidates and I'm working on asking the kid veiled questions to help make the right choice.
