OK I admit it: I'm a knife junkie...

I have a weakness for what I perceive to be good knives. Unfortunately I do not still have my grandfather’s knife or a good story like Edgar.

I’m biased, most of my knives were made in Bradford, Pa, a few in NY, Montana, and a few from elsewhere. Oh yes, 1 Randall knife and I would like to find a hunting model with Burle wood.

I just recently came across this pictured knife by a fellow here in Pa, never heard of him before. The Damascus took my fancy. I’m curious how well this maker is known, does anyone care to guess who he is?

I have no idea Stan but I like it very much.

I stated earlier that Puma knives are some of the easiest to sharpen and they hold an edge really well. As Mr. Hillis observed Buck knives are difficult to sharpen but for most guys that's enough. I find their bird knife does a pretty good job of holding an edge.

Stan, Looks like Ken Steigerwalts work. The man's an artist with knives!
