Thanks Brad!

We are not some big corporation, just a couple of

working stiffs who like old fashioned and historical looking knives.

It's been a ton of work so far, but we are really enjoying the process.

The ebony on this knife is exceptional. Deep rich color that really gives this pattern an old time feel and look. Everything from the tube is first class.
