Ben Tendick Bladeworks & a Trad Ganger
« on: May 31, 2013, 04:27:00 PM »
About 4 months ago I saw a photo of a very nice elk handled knife that was posted by Ben Tendick on the Hunting Knives and Crafters page. I fell in "need". I contacted Ben, that one was sold, so I ordered another like it. Last Tuesday I got a PM from him with this photo. Well, the knife arrived today and it is beyond my expectations. Elk antler handle, copper pins with a L6 saw steel blade. This is a working knife and will be put to the test this season. Thank you Ben!

I have spent a lot of time looking at his knives and I think he is one of the most talented knifemakers I have ever seen.  He has made quite a few I would love to have!

My wife received a knife from Ben last Christmas.  Now she's eyeballing his utility chef knives.  Nice stuff Ben is putting out.  Yours is no exception Ric.  Very nice.

I've been watching his work as well.
That's a beauty. I really like that blade shape. His sheaths are unique also.

Excellent blade, Ric.  Looks like a great working knife and could double as bowhunter jewelry.
