Supposedly a good company to deal with, who make their knives by hand in relatively small batches.

The couple that I've used - a patch knife and a Nessmuk pattern - were nicely made and were relatively bargain priced for handmade in USA knives.

For my hand, they were gripped a bit short. Scale fitting was close enough, but not perfect.

I see that they have grown quite a bit in the last couple years, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that their knives are even nicer now.

The are good knives, especially at that price point. I would also look at Sugar Creek Knifeworks in that same ballpark. And Robert Jones, who has branched out from antiqued sheaths to rustic knives. ALL of whom make better, more affordable knives than a more well known competitor up in MI.

Depending on what you're looking for, BJ Snow might be the best bet of all. He is as talented a blade maker as any I've met, and is a great guy, to boot.
