Every time I see one of Ron's designs I get excited. I make knives and I still get excited! I just cant help it. It just speaks preparedness!
Just a few short years ago I would scoffed at some of the claims that he is making about his knives. I have never held one of his but now I have held many knives big and small and I know them as well as about anyone. His knives are what he says they are. There are too many knife guys that can testify. Granted, some big "cheap" knives are nothing but glorified boat anchors, but this is not one of those. This a real tool.
Some dont care for the big knives as I once did myself. I have since come to appreciate the awesome cutting ability of a well made, balanced, 10 inch Bowie in the right hands. There is some techinique involved in cutting through different mediums and once a person learns a couple of these techniques, it will probably cause a doubter to start to understand. It's not mystic and it's not a macho thing, as such. It's simply learning how to cut.
I really want to get my hands on one of these knives.
