Jesse James Knifemaker?

[StuGatz]

Not intended as a sales pitch of any kind and more inquisitive about "celebrity like" people jumping into the knife industry. Just received this in an email.

Seems as if there is a new custom knife maker in town. Wonder if there will be a booth at any upcoming knife shows? Thoughts?

The (what appears to be a reverse clip point?) has me baffled but then again, I'm no expert. Perhaps a bend on the karambit or seax? Reminds me of the now aged HK advert that had rounds loaded backwards in a magazine, but then again, I'm no expert...

Well, the machining is outstanding but the knife just looks odd. Love to see it in person though. Sure it will make an appearance at Blade this weekend.

He "made" a 1911, too. Now is your time to buy a bike, 1911, and a knife.

Was attempting a L@@K at the knife when I had a seizure. Also, what's up with the tip of the knife being ground up side down?

 

[kerneldrop]

is A2 Tool Steel a premium blade steel?

 

[aginthelaw]

It was for me. I had a Phill Hartsfield strongboy made out of a2 steel and it never needed sharpening. For years it kept an edge that could shave layers off of business cards

Was this thing at Blade?

Pretty work of art. Not a knife I would use, and I have many, many knives and use them regularly.

Also, Jesse James is a piece of who cheats on his wife and publicly berates his employees. I would no more support JJ than I would Hitler.

Still an amazing craftsman imo.

It is the standard serial survivel knife with point ground wrong. To me it is unusable even as a boat ancker 🔗 . It is too heavy to work as a knife and looking at it probably not very fast to handle.

I DO'T LIKE!!!!

$2400 for that? No thanks. I'll stick with Bark River and LT Wright.

It's a shame the What the Heck emoji has been replaced with letters I did not post, and can not edit.
