Gentlemen:
A few years ago I purchased the above knife from you for myself and use in
both Law Enforcement and as a Military Weapons Instructor. I have since retired
from both professions after 32 years Military and 27 years in the CHP, CA.
The blade you sold me has performed far beyond expectations and I applaud you
for a superb and efficient tool. I own several 'custom made' knives but yours
is the one I carry most of the time. I just wanted to take a moment to thank
you for all your consideration in your dealings with me and for your support
of our troops.
I have just been elected Commandant of the Green Valley, AZ Marine Corps League,
which is indeed an honor, and wished to advise you that several of my fellow
marines have purchased your knives (at my recommendations) for their sons and
daughters now serving in the Military. You should be proud and honored for
the great service you bestow upon our troops. We, The Marines of Green Valley,
salute you. Semper Fi. Happy New Year to you all.
Sincerely yours,
Roy 'Chic' Birdsong
CMDT USMC League

Dear Sir (or Ma'm),
About a year ago I needed a field knife a little more durable than what I'd
been using to that point. One of the makers I contacted was your company, and
mostly because of the generous and informative feedback I got from your company
I ordered one of your knives. I recieved the knife much sooner than I would
have expected, and later when I called to order a second sheath, the lady who
helped me was very kind and I recieved that follow up order very quickly as
well. I've used the knife and used it pretty hard in my law enforcement job
as a park ranger assigned to counter drug eradication. I've used it in teaching
a rural law enforcement course I've gotten accredited through our state council
on law enforcement education, and I've used it working as an instructor at
the 138th FW Urban Warfare school at Camp Gruber. I've chopped marijuana plants,
dug fire pits, cut kindling with the knife, and demonstrated how to use a knife
to secure a door during room clearing exercises with it. Aside from a few scuffs
and dings that show honest work, the knife is good as new, and I'm sure it
will last me the rest of my career. Thanks very much. Your knife is probably
the only piece of gear I own that will never wear out, and thank you for the
personal service.
Respectfully,
Lt. Mike Vaught
