I think Mike really makes a nice folder for someone who has been making knives for as short a time as he has. He also has a great teacher in Kit Carson. The fact that he is Kit's apprentice will help him a lot I believe. Not only in the learning aspect, but also it should give him an advantage in the connection department also. What do you think? |

I'd list two knifemakers. Ron Leuschen from Little Hen Knives. He has an uncanny talent of building flowing knives, one that look like they grew instead of being made. Every line is a continuation of all of the others and his choice of materials is fantastic. James Luman. His Damascus work is always pushing the limits, setting new standards. |
