Anyone who teaches knife fighting is almost always full of shit. I would LOVE to see them get into a knife fight in real life. Enjoy those massive scars and cut tendons. If someone comes at you with a knife, if you don't have a gun, fucking run. If you cant run, grab the guys knife hand/arm and wrestle that fucking thing from him as best you can. This idea that you will fight him with your knife is retarded and nobody should try it.
I love that green it's amazing. I would like to see one with. A satin blade, electric blue carbon fiber. Same bolsters and electric blue titanium instead of the green
Handled some of his work at G6, and while I was checking out which I wanted to buy a dealer bought out his whole table which was annoying, but thats how it goes. Jim nailed it though these are fantastic indeed for the price.
I've drooled over so many of the knives you've brought us Jim. But this one… this is the first I've seen that is a must have. Time to start saving those pennies!
The sound of the knife action is great. The geometry is very nice! The curve on the blade is just awesome! Jim I'm wondering if the pocket clip could be made in tow pieces? I don't see how we could of the black and green on a one piece.
All the knives you review are absolutely phenomenal works of art, but is the market for $500 to $1500 custom knives really that big? As much as I would love to and I'm sure many others would love to be able to just toss out $700 or more multiple times at a knife show for best in show, but I know there can't be that many who can or do, do that. The price is just outrageous for the normal purchaser. I want to see knife review that the casual user would buy
Do people really care that much if the titanium handles are waterjet cut? Like Im gonna be getting mine waterjet cut coming soon but everything is grossly oversized. The reason why I want to waterjet is because its just to difficult to cut out lockbars on a drill press. I would still consider it a custom knife it just takes 3-4 hours off the build time having to precisely locate holes and cut everything out and shape it.
How do you get ahold of this knife maker to get one. He never takes orders!!
Your skull ring is shite!
Does this dude do any reviews on knives the majority can afford? Seems like a snob.
i cry because you have the coolest knives, especially the green ones
love the knife looks great the green sets it off just rite very cool.
Oh boy I need to stop watching these….

…nice simplistic design. No shiny and unnecessary (cosmetic only) parts…:)

Feb. 2015 – his books are closed.
Absolutely gorgeous knife. Excellent taste as well in choosing the color and marbled carbon fiber

Eric is a great guy. Look forward to seeing more of his work at G6 and in the years to come. Thanks for showing his work Jim.
What watch are you wearing?
love your vids, get rid of the skull ring you're not 12, stop using the word acquisition.
GeeezuZ this thing I'd sick!!! I need one
AND…you can visit him via his Facebook page, another giant in the world of social media and blade marketing.
Ahem.
The way the bolster and marble CF is joined together is called a "miter" joint. Same as it would be in construction or woodworking.
nice
Holy crap. I just placed an order and will go for the option of anodizing my liners toxic green as well!

recurve tanto. not bad for the fit and finsh but balls deep on price
What an excellent value for a custom… thanks for bringing another interesting maker into the spotlight

I would change the blade shape up a bit, but that knife is still the sickest looking knife I have ever seen. Damn I wish I was a baller like that!
Jesus christ, I love the sound that thing makes when it comes open.
Amazingly Beautiful, and ultimately great color scheme, and proper contouring, ….
I WANT 1, BUT AT $500.00 base, but Custom Knives, Custom Pricing…
What is that little up arrow logo on the clip side of the blade? I don't recognize it lol.
