sheathmaker Report post Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I just returned from the Blade Show in Atlanta, and while there I met a young man, Josh Fields who makes some of the very best round knives, etc. that I have ever seen. I already have six round knives hanging above my bench and certainly did not "need" another, but the knives this young man makes just kind of forced me to make room for yet another. They are 01 steel, heat treated to pefection and have flawless fit and finish…..and as a bonus they really perform like they are supposed to!!! Josh can be reached at josh@artkniifeand tool.com or 817 253 4497 These knives really are "that good" Paul Edited June 10, 2014 by sheathmaker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colt Hammerless Report post Posted June 10, 2014 Very jealous Paul! I've been admiring his knives for a while. Met up with him at the trade show in Prescott AZ in March. Really nice guy, and really nice knives. He's got several different patterns for round and head knives that look really handy. I think his #2 pattern will probably be perfect for the type of cutting I do. It should go in a straight line well, roll cut pretty well, and was nice points for going around sharp curves. He's got another pattern (the #4) specifically for doing sharp curves (I believe he said it's his current best seller.) I have a bunch of antique knives, but need (need, want......same thing) to get one of his. Hi I'm Joe, Here's his website, with a couple of Youtube videos showing his work: http://www.artknifeandtool.com/ Here's a PDF with his patterns and prices: http://www.artknifeandtool.com/Files/ART%20Knife%20and%20Tool%20Catalog.pdf Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
