Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades RBH Custom knives???

Anyone ever hear of this guy ??? http://stores.ebay.com/RBH-Custom-Knives
Lots of nice knives cheep.

I have not, but from the looks of his work and his prices, someone to keep an eye on. May try to pick up one of his to judge for myself.

I know I am cynical, but if they are that good, then they should/would cost more.

His feedback is good. The completed auctions,the prices realized are probably lower than what they should be for...
Handmade knives that look great

So I say,if they are what they are,great looking handmade k nives,all the buyers seem to like them,If he can make knives consistently good ...

WHY USE 1095 ?

Don't they use that for shovels & stuff,too ??

I think if I did a local knife show and had a few of those they would def. sell good.

Who here wants to be the tester piggy ? LOL

C'mon now, don't go knocking 1095. Pretty darn good carbon steel.

What carbon steel does Randall use?

I would imagine the prices would climb quite a bit when he gets into 154-CM and such.

It rusts looking at it
I've had a few,you can get them nice & sharp but they dulled easy,for me,anyhow.

Some of his knives sold for under $70. I can't figure this out I probably will bid on one just to see whats what

Randall Made carbon steel knives are still 01.

I like 1095 though, a lot. For an everyday knife, it is hard to beat a well heat treated knife of 1095. Rowen, the folks that make the ESEE knives, have it down pat. I'd stack any of my ESEE knives against just about anything out there, when it comes to hard use.

Randall uses 01 tool steel .

Why would he use something that would dull easy and put so much work in the handles.

That is an awfull lot of knife for the money. Hell, the sheath looks to be worth the cost of the entire set. I'm leary but would love to see one in person. Somebody go first !!!!!!!

Well I took a bullet for you guys and bid on/won his double edge dagger (Randall Clone) for $101. I'll post a follow-up when received. I either got a STEAL or an assf#@kin !!!!!!!

You're a team player my man! Anyone who'll risk getting an assf#@kin for his fellow knife enthusiasts is a friend indeed!

+1 on that

Glade you did it, I was thinking one of the $50 knives.

They're mostly gone now, with the exception of a couple of sword looking blades, but they look like kit knives to me. I didn't see much in the description, but the swords are also 1095 and I just had the perspective that they look like blades someone is putting handles on. Nothing wrong with that, but not quite a true custom if that's the case.

Got the kinfe today and it is definately not a true custom product. Import blade most likely, cheap leather, bulky handle and medium fit and finish (could have wiped the buffing compound off the brass). Although, for $100, I've spent a lot more on a lot less. A $50 hunter /skinner would probably not be the worst knife you ever bought !!

At first glance thought these might be made by the same outfit (similar style and last initial) but a few click mouse clicks confirms they definitely are done by a different maker.

Regardless, Bill at Michigan won't carry junk and these look like a heckuva dealio...

Those look good Wayne & you are correct about Bill. I vouch for you & him Good stuff Thanks for showing .

I bought a couple on eBay. Came pretty quick...direct from Pakistan.
Now he is a little more sophisticated in his deception. Claims that made in America is valid because "some stages of assembly" are done here. Yeah, right.

I've several of RBH Custom Knives including Smithsonian Bowie and Book Of Eli Sword everything I bought under RBH logo are really awesome and holding great edge also. This is a Great alternative to a randall knife you wont be afraid to use.Soldered guard.....

funny, a post dredged up from 8 months back and they are fantastic Randall Quality knives from Pakistan... I better rush out and bid...
