Finally got my little knife

3 years, waited on another maker for 16mos and then got let down, turned down by others....
Dan Crotts came through and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Plus, while he was at it had him make me a big filet knife. Elmax steel, ghost jade, blue liners, stainless hardware. Just in time for a Hatteras fishing trip with the guys in a month.

Well shiit the bed jack!!! Those are sexy, well designed blades man.. really diggin both. The littleun the Vicky dupe you wanted?

Close enough for sure. Less flex, which should be good, just what I wanted. Should make a good bait knife cutting up mullet, shrimp, squid etc.. plus cutting rigging. Nice saltwater duo. Theyll ship out Monday hopefully and have them in hand by weeks end.
That filet should make a damn good boner and the lil one a good paring knife in the kitchen too. I can't imagine they won't be good all around.

Damn rights. Congrats pard, looks like Christmas cake early 😆😎

Those are both really slick!! I have one of Dan's knives and its one of my favorites - could really dig a fillet like that one. About how long of a blade on that beaut??
Congrats..

i like that little one a lot. i find with my wore out hands that a small blade makes cutting jobs easy .i hope they serve you well

Those are nice! 👍🏽👍🏽.

Jade over blue looks great.

Ya those handles are dandy

Sweetness!

Wow, those are great! If you don’t mind me asking, how long did you have to wait to place an order, and how long from ordering til now? I’d love to get one like that made as a gift.

Thanks,
Craig

Congrats..

Should be 5 3/4". Biggest thing we butcher is mid 40" rockfish, so it works well for me. Normally 20-30" fish average.

Wait time was 4 months tops. Once it hit, 2 weeks.

first rate stuff from Dan as usual...enjoy

Those are really nice knives!

Both are nice but I really like the little one.

Dan makes great stuff. I might need one of of those fillets. He knocked it out of the park
