Hi PC2K,
I have some I got from
Ragweed Forge.
I bought the Speider & Speiderkniven models ... the "Boy" Scout & "Girl" Scout models. They're mine, but I got them so I could loan them to my teenage brothers & sister when they go on outdoor activities of various sorts. The scout branding tends to elicit less horror from the well meaning but uninformed "adults" that are there to take care of them. So far, no problems, though, of course, they don't take them on any activities where "children" are banned from having sharps.
I also got the Fisk for myself. It floats, in or out of the sheath, which is really cool and a reassuring feature in a fishing knife. <img src="images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
All three came very sharp. The leather thong that serves as a belt loop on the Fisk sheath seems quite flimsy. The belt loops of the others are solid. All the knives are quite nicely made, and hold an edge just fine for any use I've put them to so far. Definitely not hard core brutes, but that should be obvious just by looking at them. If you want a chopper, buy a chopper. If you want a knife, well, these are just normal old well made knives, and I like my three a lot.
Stay safe,
J.T.
