Great knives, lunatic maker, rusts just looking at them. He makes very good knives, produces great clay temper lines, and has interesting designs. Look the knives over carefully and be certain that you are satisfied with the appearance. I've seen some where the epoxy coating over the cord wrap was a little too heavy and detracted from the asthetics. Keep them well oiled/waxed/coated to stave off rust.

A Corkum was used by Anthony Lombardo, posts here, for a bear hunt in Alaska (I think it was Alaska anyway) and the thing worked the whole bear without having to be hit a lick with a stone. The article was published last year in Tactical Knives.

Steve is an interesting guy to talk to, but will talk your ear off if you get him on the phone.

Aesthetically they all are exceelent..what do you think would be a fair selling price for the "First Strike" (i got a few of them, they are tantos and I really dont like Tanto)...a price just to move them..I seen them selling for $400 but that is retail?
